  "Pentium" is a confusing marketing ploy.  The original 60mhz Pentiums
were indeed i586.  "Pentium Pro" (100-120 mhz?), PII, PIII, and P4 are
definitely i686.  According to...
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.5/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options

"i586 is equivalent to pentium and i686 is equivalent to pentiumpro."
If anything, I might be losing out on optimizations by calling PII,
PIII, and P4 "i686" in CFLAGS.  Anybody have the technical answer on
that one?

  mmx shows up in the "flags" line on my machine from "cat /proc/cpuinfo".
-mmmx is listed on the same web page I pointed to earlier.  mmx is also a
USE flag.
