I tried to find some more info about this, but came up short. Do you know when glibc stopped supporting the i386? I see GCC supported the 386 until ~2012 (4.8). And does the STL use glibc for everything?

What I really want to know is what is the latest version of DJGPP or GCC that I can use with an 80386, so I can figure out what subset of C++ I must limit myself to. Or if there are any other C++ compiler I should use.
