Why not add a glibc and kernel which are optimized for pentium 4 in

P4's are compatible with i686 and the optimisations are also quite
similar, although not entirely. Most likely we'll be optimising the
entire distro for P4 while keeping compatibility with i386 or i486.
(Code optimized for P4 runs just as fast as code for pII/pIII on those).
