What does this need to be wrapped in to insure that it is only used on
i386-rtems* targets?

I would like this test in before the release.  Speaking of which I would
like to do a snapshot, then a beta, then 4.0.  With any luck, the beta
would follow the snapshot by 1 week.  Similarly 4.0 would be about a week
after the beta with a public announcement a few days later.
