Mike,
"cut off" as in nothing for i386 or leave i386 at glibc-2.5?
Not that its matters much, there can't be many 80386 boxes running
Gentoo now.
What is the lowest IA32 arch that will be supported ?
I'm looking for clarification because very often i386 is used to mean
anything < i686. I have a personal interest too. My server is a k6-2.
