Not sure if it will work that way, and I guess it will depend if there
is no 3dnow instructions in use - might be interesting to test though.

It might just be that for the k6, even with -march/cpu=i586, things are
compiled wrong (and might be for some athlon as well).  As a side note,
do you have a relative more complete list of what is not working ?  Try
to be more specific - portage will not cut it, as it was only utils from
coreutils that segfaulted for coredumb, rather is it python as well,
etc.
