Wouldn't i486 be more conservative?
Really, given this change, I think sysdeps/i386/i486 should be merged into
sysdeps/i386, and likewise for nptl/sysdeps/i386/i486 and
nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/i486, since i486 will be the minimum
supported x86 processor. Given that, there would be no real point setting
machine to i486 since there wouldn't be i486 sysdeps directories any more.
If you don't do that followup moving of files, it should at least go on
the wiki / Bugzilla as a todo item.
