I don't think it's processor specific. I think it should work with 686s as well as
Intel Pentiums. I think the difference between GCC and PGCC is in the instructions
used when optimising. Assuming the Intel and Cyrix processors have the same
insruction sets, there should be no problems. However you should check the PGCC
website for confirmation of this (I have a genuine Intel so I can't tell you).
