A user has sent me the following suggestion for config.sub. GCC is one
application which would be quite sensitive to this change -- what do others
think about this? I'm always loathe to change such behaviours.

Subject: config.sub pentium2 and pentiumii aliases
I'd like to suggest that the config.sub pentium2 and pentiumii aliases
should map to i686 not i786. I believe i686 is the conventional
architectural designation for these, certainly they behave like a
plain i686 pentiumpro for the purposes of plain integer code.
