The trouble is that the asterisk build translates this into -march=i386
and -mcpu=i386 or -mtune=i386 which has that low level effect.  At
least the old asterisk port did this, I haven't yet figured out
what the new 1.4.11 asterisk is doing.

I'm inclined to believe that i386 in the FreeBSD context means
something fundamentally different to the same in the Linux context.

It builds if I don't set CPUTYPE=p3 in /etc/make.conf.  So, I guess
that's the fix.
