- Alright, this was in the ELF-HOWTO, and is a _linking_ flag, not a
- compiling one. -m386 optimizes for 386/Pentium Byte alignment, where
- -m486 optimizes for the 486. In the linker -m i386linux was a flag that
- was mentioned for "compiling the kernel as a.out" in the howto file. I'm
- not sure exactly what it's purpose is...
