I can replicate Zsolt's result --- note the point about -march:

$ echo | gcc -m32 -dM -E - | grep -E '86[^0-9]'
#define __i386 1
#define __i386__ 1
#define i386 1
$ echo | gcc -m32 -march=i586 -dM -E - | grep -E '86[^0-9]'
#define __i586 1
#define __tune_i586__ 1
#define __i386 1
#define __i586__ 1
#define __i386__ 1
#define i386 1
$ echo | gcc -m32 -march=i686 -dM -E - | grep -E '86[^0-9]'
#define __tune_i686__ 1
#define __i686 1
#define __i686__ 1
#define __i386 1
#define __i386__ 1
#define i386 1

This is with gcc 8.5.0 from RHEL8, and the same with gcc 14.3.1
from Fedora 41.
