^- That - with the proper fix, you'll no longer get NOPLs emitted for generic i686 via binutils (GAS).

NOPL is not standard i686, it was undocumented and has just been de facto supported since the Pentium Pro.

The correct solution is surely to ensure that when something is compiled for generic i686, NOPL is nowhere to be seen...
