You don't need to compile it ON an older machine.
I compiled for my 1998 laptops on my 2003 desktop.

I configured (with runtime cpu identification) and then
hand edited config.mak to replace i686 and i486 with i586,
which made it slightly larger but it still works on i686.

I could not compile recent versions with SW81 gcc (or 0.93 with
SW11 gcc but the earlier gcc worked).

Congratulations.  I suppose it helps to have a full slackware when you 
compile.
