I know some Linux users are here too, do you know about it?

This is also related to GCC not only kernel.
We used some Vortex 86 (high speed 486SX) fanless miniPC and I'm not sure if it is icluded in dropped group or not. And what's the key they selected dropped CPUs - if it is absence of FPU (like it looks because also includes NexGen 5x86 which lacked FPU too) then Vortex might not be supported because it also lacks FPU...
