I doubt it. Apparently at least some of the VIA CPUs that are being sold
today don't count as a 686 as far as gcc is concerned.
You're right, I misread the devel kernel changelog. It's i586smp
that's being dropped from core.
Incidentally, a 486SX doesn't include an FPU, and Fedora kernels (not
surprisingly) don't include emulation code. One other thing for the
Original Poster to remember.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. The exchanges were quite
informative.
