Ok, fine, but the mandated CHOST of "i686-pc-linux-gnu" doesn't actually
sufficiently describe the limitations of code generated - if I'm
compiling pentium3 code, the it won't run on a i686. 

I poked around looking for definitions of CCHOST; I read
crosscompile.eclass and it seems not to differentiate in the pentium
family newer than pentium II (i686).

Or are you saying that you expect Gentoo to drop support for compiling
specific processor optimizations provided by GCC?
