    Added the following test packages that we're not ready to merge in yet:
    testing/packages/gcc-3.3/gcc-3.3-i486-1.tgz: This is GCC 3.3, compiled for
        a minimum CPU target of i486. Why i486 and not i386? Because the shared
        C++ libraries in gcc-3.2.x will require 486 opcodes even when a 386 target
        is used (so we already weren't compatible with the i386 for Slackware 9.0
        and nobody noticed :-). gcc-3.3 fixes this issue and allows you to build a
        386 compiler, but the fix is done in a way that produces binaries that are
        not compatible with gcc-3.2.x compiled binaries and which suffer a
        performance hit. To retain compatibility with Slackware 9.0, we'll have to
        use i486 (or better) as the compiler target for gcc-3.3. Therefore, it is
        time to say goodbye to i386 support in Slackware. I've surveyed 386 usage
        online, and the most common thing I see people say when someone asks about
        running Linux on a 386 is to "run Slackware", but then they also usually go
        on to say "be sure to get an OLD version, like 4.0, before glibc, because
        it'll be more efficient." Now, if that's the general advice, then I see no
        reason to continue 386 support in the latest Slackware (and indeed it's no
        longer easily possible). People with 386 machines aren't going to have the
        hard drive space for Slackware 9.1 in any case.
