Does it work on 486? IIRC, under Debian, we're now allowed to compile
for i486 (though I'll have to double-check).
That, I'm not sure. My 486s are presently without HDs or any way of booting, and I haven't looked at the docs anytime recently. I'm only certain that CPUID doesn't work on a 386.
"New" Intel 486s have it, but old ones don't. I'm not sure about AMD or Cyrix 486s, but I doubt that they had it before Intel added it.
