Hi,

I think the current status is that, there is no difference, as no
production version of gcc has PPro (nor Pentium) specific optimization
yet. So, 486/Pentium/PPro flag should not make a difference. Maybe
there are some conditional defines to make the memory alignment more
generous for Pentium or PPro.

My 2 cents.
