No need to demangle names: Grepping contents of $DJDIR/lang/cxx 
and subdirectories gives the source of this instruction:
	lang/cxx/tsd/bastring.h           lines 84-87

So even if compiler itself will not generate instructions which don't run 
on i386 or i486, some other package can use macros __i486__, 
__i586__ to permit use on some additional instructions so defaulting
to -march=pentium could be dangerous even if compiler itself don't 
generate instructions which are absent on i386.
