Maybe

(a) there should be a new (installed) bits/ header for x86, say 
bits/x86-arch.h, that defines __x86_arch to 4, 5 or 6 depending on such 
macros, so the logic doesn't need duplicating;

(b) the header should test for the probably much smaller number of 486 / 
586 processors supported by GCC, with the default being i686, to avoid 
keeping needing updating it for future processors;

(c) GCC should add such a predefined macro, with bits/x86-arch.h only 
defining it itself if not already defined, as further future-proofing 
against anyone adding new support for an i486-class or i586-class 
processor with new predefined macros?

(Cf. sysdeps/arm/memcpy.S working based on a list of ARM architectures 
without preload support, instead of a list with it; and the __ARM_ARCH 
macro from ACLE in newer versions of GCC.)
