I once used to fight that problem... The VIA would aspire to be a i686,
but it is actually a i586 from a compiler standpoint. So with that, you
need to make a change to you /usr/src/asterisk/Makefile and change the
following:

#ifeq (${OSARCH},Linux)
#PROC=$(shell uname -m)
#endif
# Pentium Pro Optimize
#PROC=i686
                                                                                # Pentium & VIA processors optimize
PROC=i586

Make sure that you comment out the ifeq (${OSARCH},Linux) or else when
the Makefile is running, it will reset the PROC value from i586 back to
i686.
