Cpu type autodetection is broken in configure script, when run in MinGW. If you don't use cpu=k8, you will get perfectly compatible i686 build, however, without MMX or SSE support. You can expect video codecs, colorspace converters etc to run several times slower.
"K8" is suitable for Pentium 4 and Core Duo, not just AMD CPUs. If you are using Pentium M, try to find out which CPU setting you should use, but don't just disable it.
