Did you use one of these to install your system? http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/gentoo/experimental/x86/uclibc/ Also note: The i586 CPU (family 5) but it has almost everything that a i686 CPU (family 6) has. The only CPU instruction that is missing is the NOPL or NOP Long (means no operation). Now there is a patch available that simulate the missing instruction in the kernel so that the user space don't know that the instruction is missing. The program can use the instruction as if there is nothing missing instead of crashing. The advantage is, the programs that are compiled for i686 can run on the i586 CPU with this modified Kernel. In Debian there is also a special optimized C Lib version for i686 CPU's (with uses cmov instructions). This optimized version of the library works with the modified Kernel too.
