Sorry, I should have checked this with a test program before I posted. I
have checked it now with my b18 installation (with and without mingw32)
and I assume nothing has changed in that area in b19 (?).

What I stated is in the docs, and is the way it should be. For all
pre-defined macros that indicate the hardware or OS platform the form
'__i386__' should be always defined, 'i386' only without -ansi. At the
moment it seems that actually 'i386' is always pre-defined. This is a
bug.

I don't know enough about the syntax of the specs file (where is that
documented anyway?) to be sure about how this works, but I experimented
a bit. -Di386 occurs twice in it. If I remove the -Di386 from the
section "*cpp_cpu" it seems to work as documented. I also checked the
compiler headers and they only seem to use __i386__ whereever they need
this functionality, so removing -Di386 from the '*cpp_cpu' section seems
save.


so long, benny
