Damn good question.  I think it goes like this:

386
486
586 (Pentium, K5)
686 (PentiumPro)
??? (Pentium II)  

That is, I don't think Linux supports the PII yet...  Its a function
of the compiler, though, I think...  I'm kind of curious what the people
say about what the correct selection is for a PII... My understanding
of those setting are that they aren't /that/ important.  You can compile
Pentium code for a 486, and it will be smaller, though slower.  If you
need that tradeoff, though...
