It has: it's called sysdeps/i386. Glibc 2.1 has/will have the option to
auto-preload a library with machine-specific optimizations, so that you can
compile glibc for i386+ and still get your Pentium memcpy.

There's linux-gcc, and there's libc-hacker@gnu.ai.mit.edu. The latter is
strongly recommended if you want to participate in glibc mangling. ;-)
