Given that GENERIC on -current doesn't support the 80386 anymore, it seems to me that we should probably be able to build releases with: MACHINE_CPU=3Di386 i486 If there's demand someone could create an 80386 release, but I suspect most people doing actual work on those are embeded system people who build their own worlds and thus are quite capable of setting MACHINE_CPU correctly. Obviously, we will have to ship 80386 compatable binaries for the entire life of the 4.x branch. -- Brooks P.S. Before you run off and start screaming about the lack if 80386 support in GENERIC since this is the first time you've heard of it, please, please, please read the relevent archives for -current, -hacker, -arch, and -smp. Yes, that's a lot to read, but a lot of ground has been covered and there are solid reasons for this change. --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
