What value interrogated from platform for compiler could cause this?

[Heinicke, Eric (US SSA)]

When compiling on a Pentium III, 700 MHz to obtain a target image of a 386, 
what parameter interrogated from the platform could cause the following to 
occur?

 {standard input}:161: Error: no such 386 instruction: `je .L1596'
...

This and other similar instructions are in the assembly file from compiler 
being passed to the assembler.

The build script is as follows:
g++ -I/usr/include -I/include -I/usr/include/rtai -v -O3 -I/home/eatg/eatgd/inc 
-I../inc -c  -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O -fomit-frame-pointer 
-fno-strength-reduce -pipe   -c -o eatgpErrorHandling.o eatgpErrorHandling.cpp
