Thanks. But in case you missed my comment on the ticket. The multi-lib is
built with -mtune not -march so defaults to i386 code. The file
gcc/config/i386/t-rtems needs to be changed I think. When gcc changed from
-mcpu, we apparently picked the wrong replacement argument. At least that's
what I think explains this.
