I am running Gentoo on several dual-CPU machines, and even one quad-CPU
machine with no troubles at all.

CFLAGS=3D"-march=3Dpentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

They came from the defaults.  Unless you set -autoaddcvs, etc in your
FEATURES.  There's no need to try to remove autoaddcvs, since it just
won't work.

You would probably get a speed boost going with -j5 rather than -j3, but
I would bench it myself before trusting anything from an external
source.
