-fno-unit-at-a-time grounded:

jbglaw@d2:~/test_gcc/linux-2.6.13-rc5-git3$ grep fno-unit-at arch/i386/Makefile 
# CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fno-unit-at-a-time)

For presenting it, I built a gcc right from CVS:

jbglaw@d2:~/test_gcc/linux-2.6.13-rc5-git3$ i486-linux-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i486-linux
Configured with: /home/jbglaw/vax-linux/scm/build-20050802-192552-i486-linux/src/gcc/configure --disable-multilib --with-newlib --disable-nls --enable-threads=no --disable-threads --enable-symvers=gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-shared --target=i486-linux --prefix=/home/jbglaw/vax-linux/scm/build-20050802-192552-i486-linux/install/usr --enable-languages=c
Thread model: single
gcc version 4.1.0 20050802 (experimental)

...and here you can see it explode even on i386:
