I understand that "cmov" is OPTIONAL i686 instruction. In the case that software will follow i686 specification, it will use CMOV instructions only when presented in the CPU. CPU has a flag that it indicates support of CMOV instruction (check cat /proc/cpuinfo for example). I understand that this is problem of design of gcc or clib or something like that and Ubuntu cannot do too much about it.
