It has been pointed out to me that this isn't really true. An earlier
version of egcs (1.0.3 IIRC), had fixed this, but the __i386__ has been
removed again in 1.1.
In packaging 1.1 for Debian, I noticed a similar problem for alpha:
gcc/config/alpha/linux.h doesn't put -D__alpha in CPP_PREDEFINES .
While there may be valid reasons for cleaning out CPP_PREDEFINES, I think
this issue should be addressed in the egcs FAQ, and a suggestion for a
workaround for imake be included.
