People uses cyrix's? ;-)

Possibly next version, I'll compile for a i586, as there are still K6's
in use & pentiums.

Maybe there is a patch or something for compiling it for a i386. Don't
know. However, there is no point compiling GNOME for less than a i486. A
GUI will not work on a i386, and possiblly only just on a i486.
