So this changes the linux-x86 target to be (effectively) an alias for
linux-586?  Currently it is using whatever the toolchain default is.  I
assume the reason for changing linux-x86 is that most users pick that
instead of eg. linux-586?  I'm not arguing against this, I just trying
to understand what effects this change will have.

FYI. Debian linux still builds a (by default) i486 toolchain.  However,
Ubuntu and Fedora have 686 toolchains.
