# Local configure fragment for sysdeps/i386.
+# The GNU C Library can't be built for i386. There are several reasons for
+# this restriction. The primary reason is that i386 lacks the atomic
+# operations required to support the current NPTL implementation. While it is
+# possible that such atomic operations could be emulated in the kernel to date
+# no such work has been done to enable this. Even with NPTL disabled you still
+# have no atomic.h implementation. Given the declining use of i386 we disable
+# support for building with `-march=i386' or `-mcpu=i386.' We don't explicitly
+# check for i386, instead we make sure the compiler has support for inlining
+# the builtin __sync_val_compare_and_swap. If it does then we should have no
+# problem building for i386.
