Hi,
What's the reason for using the compiler flags shown in the subj. line
when building a kernel for pentium(pro)s?

Why aren't those flags used for 486 kernels? On my system a 2.1.106 kernel
uses 40k less non-swapable memory when built with those flags, and I see
no difference in performance (AMD 486DX4-100MHz, 32M RAM.)
