The Qt source code requires i486, even if the compiler doesn't generate i486
code. The only interesting instruction from i486 is XADD, which the compiler
doesn't generate by default (unless you're using GCC atomic intrinsics) and we
use in assembly from qatomic_x86.h.
But I don't think we should raise that at the Qt Project level. It's a
distribution choice. And as I said, the distro engines probably already set
the necessary CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS when building to their minima, and our
buildsystem will pick them up.
We should do the same for our binaries, though: set the minimum to something
from the past decade.
I recommend:
CFLAGS (x86) = -march=i686 -mtune=core2 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse
CFLAGS (x86-64) = -mtune=core2
LFLAGS = -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro
For MSVC, set CFLAGS on x86 to -arch:SSE2.
