I apologize, but it looks like the Geode LX is no longer among the CPUs
supported in Debian. FWIW, the stretch release notes still mentioned the
Geode LX explicitly in chapters 2.1 and 5.1.7:
2.1:
Support for 32-bit PCs no longer covers vanilla i586
The 32-bit PC support (known as the Debian architecture i386) now no
longer covers a plain i586 processor. The new baseline is the i686,
although some i586 processors (e.g. the “AMD Geode”) will remain
supported.
Please refer to Section 5.1.7, “Minimum requirement for 32-bit Intel
is now i686 (with a minor exception)” for more information.
5.1.7. Minimum requirement for 32-bit Intel is now i686 (with a minor exception)
The 32-bit PC support (known as the Debian architecture i386) now no
longer covers a plain i586 processor. The new baseline is the i686,
although some i586 processors (e.g. the “AMD Geode”) will remain
supported.
Both mentions have vanished from the Release Notes for buster and
bullseye. It looks like this non-support has now manifested itself in
our toolchains using the full i686 instruction set including the opcodes
that the Geode LX does not have.
I therefore apologize for marking this bug wontfix.
If you find any evidence in our docs that the Geode LX should still be
supported in Debian 12, please let me know and I'll happily resume
pursuing this issue.
