Hi jls_legalize
Use the  -march=i486 -mtune=i686  compiler switches.

JLS, are you compiling on an AMD k6?  I have one, and though it is possible to compile things on a 686 to run on a k6, things compiled with a k6 sometimes don't work.  At least that has been my experience.

the pidgin I'm "talking" about is the one on the repo, and I've compiled it on a p3, I get illegal instruction also on the machine where the program was compiled. Maybe someone else could try the pidgin on the repo on a p3, enabling many acounts

Perhaps it might have something to do with the kernel 3?
I read a topic in which they are experiencing for the kernel updates:

The kernel is not related to a crash of this type in userspace.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
