Hmm. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think I'm wrong.
"x86" might be the answer.
We may end up not having a choice. I totally forgot about the GCC
build. I suspect GCC might be sensitive to the platform architecture
name. I seem to remember "x86" in GCC but I'm not sure.
Either way I would like to get rid of "i386" as the platform architecture
name. It's just too damn confusing.
