After actually trying a compile with "I686_CPU" I discovered that option is *not* available in 2.1.5-R. I checked one of the mirror sites, and it's not in the LINT file for -stable either. Can someone give me an authoritative answer on whether or not it's in 2.1.6.1-Release? I know it's in 2.2, but I'm not sure I can talk the powers that be into upgrading to beta/gamma code. Although I hope to be sliding into 2.2-Release asap. :) >Also, we run an IRC server on this system that makes heavy use of File >Descriptors.
