Since the modern Linux kernel doesn't make any promises of 486 support there's very likely plenty of places inline assembly uses instructions unavailable on a 486.
So even if you compiled it with strict -march i486 you'd end up with unsupported instructions. Modern GCC also doesn't like emitting strict i386 or i486 code anymore so you'd be likely to end up with unsupported instructions even without any inline assembly.
