It's not only about i386 vs i486+, it's about all the arches that don't have the builtins *currently* implemented not because of fundamental limitations, but because of lazyness of the maintainers :-) I mean, currently we have nothing more than: i686 (and real, 64-bit, x86_64), ia64, alpha, powerpc, s390. Jakub just contributed sparc in gomp-branch (but, I gather, only new sparcs are amenable to that)
There is also the case of hppa, which, I gather, is uncertain whether or not can have the builtins implemented in the first place. Paolo.
