+Wrong!
+Original mandriva was compiled i386. It was when we "merged" with
+berolinux we targeted the i586 (spring 1999).
+Using an experimental compiler (egcs).
+At -O6.
+All of this landed in version 6.0 with the new glibc-2.1 and the new kernel-2.2.
+That was the distro where we defaulted to using udma.
+On all hard disks. Even those who didn't supported.
+
+Ah, me remembering the glorious days of mdk6.1 with chmouel chasing a
+critical kernel memory leak just days before the release.
+Hopefully Alan Cox saved us.
+That was a beautiful year :-)

+i486 does. Did. At least fedora's glibc had patches for that.
