I've not idea if i386.c is generated from i386.md.
i386.c say nothing that is generated from i386.md or by a generator.
I don't believe that i386.c is generated from i386.md because
i386.c has large comments that i386.md hasn't.

Repairing the development's violations is not an offense.
It's a good solution to try repair the violated rules of software development.
