I get that, too, when I let gentoo compile hashcash.  It ends up
building with these flags:

-O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -O3    -c

it works fine with the default flags for "make x86", namely

-DREGEXP_POSIX -O3 -funroll-loops -march=i386 -mcpu=pentium -mmmx
-D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -fPIC    -c

This is all with gentoo (obviously), on a dual p3-1ghz.
