Actually, I didnt remove the i586_CPU, I removed everything BUT that...  
I.e. my config is:

machine         "i386"
#cpu            "I386_CPU"
#cpu            "I486_CPU"
cpu             "I586_CPU"
ident           ICE

[...]

The 6x86 is a '686' (it has the 686 instruction set--in theory), which
means the 586 would be the closest to it...

What effect does including various other 'cpu' classes have?

Anybody else using -STABLE on a Cyrix 6x86?
