[CLN-list] drop i386 asm?

[Alexei Sheplyakov]

Hello,

\begin{quote}
CLN is speed efficient:

	* The kernel of CLN has been written in assembly language for some
    CPUs (`i386', `m68k', `sparc', `mips', `arm').
\end{quote}

I can't say anything about m68k, arm, and mips, but on x86 GCC 
generated code runs a bit faster. I checked this for -march={pentium[34],
nocona,athlon,athlon-mp,k8}. Hence I propose to drop x86 asm, or at least
to make -DNO_ASM the default.

Best regards,
	Alexei
