Subject:   Can I do a make world only for PentiumPro?

Almost this identical question was put to -questions a couple of days ago, but
as I did not get a response I'll try my luck here:)

Is it possible to use my PentiumPro machine to do a 'make buildworld' for a
target machine that only is a 486? When compiling the kernel I can select to
omit 386/486-thingies and optimise the binaries for 686. Can I do the same for
the 'world'-target? 

The case at hand is: I have an old 486 laptop and have now nfs-mounted /usr/src
and /usr/obj of newly cvsupped sources for RELENG_2_2. Letting the 486 make the
compile takes longer than anyone would like to wait. (I am talking DAYS here -
so far...). It would be nice to let the PPro do the make buildworld and then only
do the make installworld from the 486.

Hmm, come to think of it: Can I use -O to get even more trimmed code? And where
do I put it? There must be some file somewhere that contains this info, must
there not?

I am not subscribed to this list to please CC: to me, thanks.
