We don't ship a 486 kernel but if you built a 486 kernel yes. Really for
the AMD SoC stuff you should build a custom kernel anyway as 2.6.x knows
about that as a non PC platform and understands some of its quirks

The plan was NTPL from 486 up, I'm a little out of the loop on the final
result of that in test1 so a glibc person need to answer that

Yes
