__i386__ is unfortunately always defined on both versions of gcc

Yeah, I've been doing some occational development on UAE since
version 0.2 or so, and I still have an Amiga, but I've never
gotten around to doing any lowlevel programming.
Reminds me that I have to make another shot at getting an IP
connection up between UAE and Linux. ;)

Btw, I got my Amiga Forever CD this week, and I was sort of amused
by the fact that uae-ggi was the only Unix-binary on the CD. :)
On the other hand I'm pretty sure that it was the old GGI 0.0.8
binary, so it won't be of much use to anyone...
