Thats wierd. I don't have a 386, but looking at the code, its seems
like CONFIG_M386 can't be defined, because the check should not even
occur if it is defined. So, perhaps menuconfig (or whateverconfig)
didn't actually save your options properly? Maybe your .config is not
what you thought?
In any case, some chip-selection logic was just modified so this isn't
that surprising.
