I'm pretty sure that I was using JIFFIES on i686-SMP before I switched
to i586-UP.  (FWIW)

What's the best option to select for a i686 compile?  PSCHED_CPU?

Yes, I updated last night, and I haven't seen any updates come across
the commit mailing list lately.

BTW, I'm actually compiling this for a friend to run on a K5-333.
Does that effect the options I'm selecting?
