Which reminds me something very similar a while back: the minimum suported CPU on x86 is i486, because the i386 lacks some instruction that is needed (for whatever needs it: TLS? NPTL? ...).
==quote== 3) NPTL has not been ported to i386, only i486+, x86_64, ia64, ppc32, ppc64, s390, s390x, alpha, sh and sparcv9. i386 (and sparc < v9) lacks atomic instructions powerful enough for NPTL needs. Well, I have tried to port NPTL to i386, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2004-05/msg00019.html, but that port is severely limited and maintaining two different IA32 ports would be too much work. So for NPTL by default we need a i486-*-linux build of glibc at least ==quote==
