i386 guest is a comparatively rare case for linux-user (because
most people have an i386 box they can run them on). Also I'm
hoping to get most of the linux-user guests up to the point where
we can just have CONFIG_NPTL be true for all of them -- I have
several patches on-list which are trying to head in that direction.
