Hi Thierry,

do you realise that Pentium III has been out of production for 15 years?
It does not strike me as an important issue that an emulator for this truly 
museum piece of hardware does not produce
binaries compatible with other, slightly less outdated, pieces of 
hardware...

I understand that most probably you'd like to build a binary that works on 
as many archs as possible.
I am not sure that the approach to use such an outdated piece is the right 
one; nothing gets seriously tested 
on such hardware nowadays. (E.g. I doubt that gcc is tested on Pentium III 
nowadays...).
