Author i386 requalification for etch

Anyone working on assembling the information for this?

It ought to be a slam dunk, but I'd hate to see it not happen because
nobody bothered to collect the information.

Well, I'm still using it, at least on my router and as a chroot to
build stuff on my amd64.

do you mean i*3*86 or ia-32?
i*3*86 died already before sarge release.

IA-32, except it's misleadingly *called* i386. :-)

Disgustingly, I worked out that we could have revived real i386 support for
etch thanks to changes in gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 which nobody bothered to
advertise. But it's too late now, since everything is built with
arch=i486. :-P
