AFAIK, the problem isn't that i386s will run code using the full range
of FPU instructions slowly, but that they won't run it at all.  The
reason is that the FPU emulator is lacking.

I was bit by this once; the problem is an outdated .depend file.
'make cleandir' or 'rm .depend' should fix it for you.
