I have since found out that this might be because the compiler enables
support for the CMOV instruction if CPUTYPE=i686, whereas the C3 does /not/
support CMOV (well, this core doesn't, anyhow).

Running the kernel as an i686 kernel works just fine, but compiling it
doesn't.  I've verified that using 5.1-RC1 results in the same problem.
