So is this some P4 specific optimization which is not working as

The only pentium specific optimizations that are enabled by MPENTIUM4
is to tell the compiler to compile for pentium4 and a few settings
in arch/i386/Kconfig.

You could enable/disable these individually and see if you can track
it down with a binary search.

Most of this stuff should be fairly harmless though and be only
microoptimizations; I cannot see how they should cause user visible
races.

I see what you mean about there not being a lot of difference
between the two, however, the other difference between the builds
would be -mtune=pentium3 and -mtune=pentium4.
