It's because I was confused about the removal of i386 support, at the same time I was thinking that I haven't powered on a 486 machine in many many years, so it seemed not so crazy to give up. > The hardware just can not do atomic 64bit ops (that is why we do not > define __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS for userland on i386).

I think the oldest system I'd want to try it on is indeed a Pentium II. I have a soekris 5501, but have never wanted to run firefox on it. I did change the flag to 586 from 486, and that caused firefox to build ok. I'm having a startup segfault, but I think that's unrelated, because the previous build behaved the same way.
