@regehr It's not that x86 couldn't do that, but you'd need to dive even deeper into history, and P5 level is honestly about the lowest anyone still wants to go.

You could do 286-or-less but that's 16-bit x86 and tooling for that is essentially extinct at this point. You're stuck with old compilers etc.
