Hi Everyone,

Currently we uses i386, i486 and i586 within x86 build.

Yeah, historic stuff. This is a more difficult problem than it seems, as Magnus says.

Do we have a plan to cleanup it and replace to just "x86"?

Where we can, in the build process we will try and be consistent, not sure we can fix the source file naming, or system or Java property conventions.
