I can confirm that Pentium MMX looks happy with a binary compiled
with -march=i486.

Too bad, I did not have time to test anything with qemu nor have any
486-or-lower-hardware at hand.

i486 remains relevant despite its age, if not otherwise because
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86)
"The 80486 processor has been on the market for more than 20 years
and so cannot be subject to patent claims. The pre-586 subset of the
x86 architecture is therefore fully open."

Thanks for your work Anders (and others)!
