Well, I have. I included the output of the detected CPU (once I compiled it
as 486) so that ppl can look at the type of CPU I've got. I believe that
there are different revisions of that CPU, whith different
features/behaviour.

The fact that we both have a 6x86 166+, one is detected and one not means that
it is worth reporting. Note again that I have a IBM 6x86 though...
