[patch 2.6.14-rc1] i386: Correct Pentium optimization

From: simrw
Date: Tue Sep 13 2005 - 06:54:21 EST


GCC 3.x apparently does not allow the -mtune option when specifying
-march=i686. This means that P-2/3/4/M never get optimzed.
Change the i386 Makefile to cater for this.

Patch also as attachment as Squirrel is sure to mangle.
