[gentoo-amd64] Nocona / EM64T support?

[gentoo-amd64] Nocona / EM64T support?

[Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.]

Is anyone where successfully running an amd64 profile on a EM64T chip, like 
the nocona?  Is this a supported configuration?  Or, should EM64T users 
use a x86 profile, with a custom CHOST?

Not running it, but starting with 2006.0, EM64T is officially supported 
by the amd64 architecture project.
 From the project page:
"The AMD line of 64-bit extended processors were released well ahead of 
Intel's offering. Therefore, for historical reasons the arch keyword for 
all x86-64 compatible architectures is amd64."

I've been using amd64 on an EM64T box for quite a while, no problems.
