  3.3.1-1         18199   7680            17497   7168

I upgraded to the test 3.3.1-1 package. What a difference from
3.2-3.

I was wrong here. On Linux all 3 default to -mcpu=pentiumpro
-march=i386.

I think it's the same on Cygwin. I tested with --verbose on
2.95.3-10 and 3.2.3-3, and -fsched-verbose on 3.3.1-1.
