[ Snipped the rest... ]

Please note "c3" is treated like an i486-class processor by the compilers.
However, I didn't remove i586 because it wasn't really clear to me.
It seems
most people just used -march=i586 for the processors (before GCC added
- -march=c3).
For example:

The original VIA C3 (aka Cyrix III) was considered i486-class, maybe?
I think I still have one of these in the basement collecting dust but
its mobo
died long ago. :-(
