As Jeff noted, i386 actually is the "marketing" name used for the
platform, GCC has been defaulting to i486 for ages, and I upgraded
to i586 last year:
2015-11-15 Gerald Pfeifer <gerald@pfeifer.com>
* config/i386/freebsd.h (SUBTARGET32_DEFAULT_CPU): Change to i586.
Remove support for FreeBSD 5 and earlier.
And, yes, the system compiler on current versions of FreeBSD is
LLVM (for most platforms including x86). There is still a fair
user base, though.
Given the above, do you still see a desire to make this change?
