 The definition of __i686 has been present in gcc all along; removing it will
 cause other regressions (any code that depends on it will break), so 
 that's not an
 option.
 
 Will glibc-2.3.1 build with older gcc's?  If so, why isn't there trouble 
 from
 sysdep.h in such cases?
 
 Volker, you are calling this a regression, but do older gcc's actually work?
 If so, how?  They define __i686 too, in exactly the same way.
