Ubuntu has an i386 kernel image.  The live image (from USB stick)
booted fine on my Viglen MPC-L (not actually an i386 and I do have an
FPU) and then installed the i386 kernel.  I've since corrected it
because the standard kernel runs but it seems there is at least some
support for i386.

No idea whether this i386 kernel would work for you or whether the
userspace stuff would work.
