- Actually it does. There are Pentium versions of GCC 2.6.3 and 2.7.x done by
- some Intel folk. However, these are buggy. At least the 2.6.3i version that I

- produce incorrect code (which crashes) for others still. It may be useful for
- selectively compiling small amounts of CPU-intensive numeric code. If it works,
- you're OK.
