Build building issues etc.
==========================

initially I've had NO success with build-1.0_rc5-r2, then I took the
"standard" approach, and JUST uncommented the relevant
CPU parts in make.conf, and so far it's working for me on K6 & Athlon
and PIII (To be specific, a Dell 2450 + RAID and a Dell 2400).

Sofar I've had sucess with adding the 3dnow flag, and also some of
the X based flags, ie. gtk etc. 

The things I've noticed:
 Donr't mess with the nls use flag or anything else that might have
some reference in perl5 (ie. gdbm, db) or glibc (nls as an example) as
those two have been seen as the biggest hassles as they broke in 
spectacular fashions for me (No, I didn't yet had the time to
troubleshoot, as I needed to get those machine running :()
