If you want to complain then to the idiots who made the decision to go
with .i586 instead of .i686 for x86 binaries.  This is exactly the kind
of problem I've been warning about all along.  Using the i586 target
stresses code paths (in this case in gcc) which are hardly ever used
since nobody cares for this target in general.
