A boot disk image (like the sets of images on the website tm) that will boot on 386's as well as more modern CPU's that can newfs and disklabel your drives, download the source, and let you compile from that point.
If you're compiling the code (as would be necessary, since 386-compatible code would not be included in any of the regular binaries), then there is no such thing as "pre-compiled" anything.something to compile with - which can be downloaded with the source all precompile so the do work on all x86 CPU's.
Morever, the concept of compiling something is mutually exclusive to getting a pre-compiled copy of that same something.
