The problem seems to be that the compiler was configured for a pentiumpro+
target, which means that it's runtime libraries might (and obviously do)
contain pentiumpro instructions.

The solution would be to configure for a i586 target. AFAICS this means
that the nbinary distribution of the Pentium-GCC will not run on the
pentium ;(

This problem didn't show up earlier since earlier versions of gcc/pgcc
weren'T very aggressive about using cmov..
