i386 or 32-bit machines?   i think it don't exists anymore, but what likely
is correct: i386-compatible machine.

The i386 config is for 32-bit OS, ie, the entire binaries must be build for
32-bit architecture.

So choose the correct config provided u have the correct userspace
files/libraries to support it.
