     52    <para>Because Glibc no longer supports i386, its developers say to use the 
     53    compiler flag <parameter>-march=i486</parameter> when building it for x86 
     54    machines. There are several ways to accomplish that, but testing shows that 
     55    the flag is best placed inside the build variable <quote>CFLAGS</quote>. 
     56    Instead of overriding completely what Glibc's internal build system uses 
     57    for CFLAGS, append the new flag to the existing contents of CFLAGS by 
     58    making use of the special file <filename>configparms</filename>:</para>
