No. Maybe almost but not exactly. Both (Cyrix P166 and WinChip 200) miss
tsc and cmov. The missing tsc is what causes rpm to fail. Missing cmov
might cause other problems. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=103078 .
Well, missing cmov is not a problem for NPTL (and shouldn't be for rpm
in FC3 either).
The thing is just that there has been only i686 NPTL built in FC1/2 and
RHL9/RHEL3. And rpm linked against NPTL, therefore it used cmov.
When there is a i486 NPTL build, rpm can link against that.
