1.20) How can I optimise for 486 or pentium processors
The default compiler flags perform no optimisation for 486
or Pentium processors. To add such optimisation, edit
Makefile.custom and add:
CFLAGS+= -m486
or (for the new compilers that most people are not yet running)
CFLAGS+= -mpentium
or
CFLAGS+= -mpentiumpro

You are running the new glibc2 libraries and have a version earlier than
2.0.7. It is a math rounding problem in the library. Upgrade your library.
