Default ix86_arch = i386


Hello gcc developers!

Just wondering why gcc-3.1 defaults the ix86_arch to
"i386" when the old gcc-2.95.x defaulted to "i586" ?

Can anyone shed any light on the change and what the
reasoning was? It looks like the change dates back as
far as Sept' 99

Thanks to everyone working on gcc.

Greg
