If you compile for an i686 it will only run on i686 (or newer) but not
on i386,i486,i586.
If you compile for i486, it will run on i486, i586, i686 - but not on
i386.

Just compile for i486. You don't miss a feature - just maybe a tiny
bit of speed (but you should test yourself if you can measure this at
all).
