Even mplayer compiles :) Portage 2.0.51_pre12 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.4.20040605-r1, 2.6.7-hb3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-hb3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Gentoo Base System version 1.5.1 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1 CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -mcpu=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" My understanding is that glibc >=2.3.4 no longer references /usr/src/linux, therefore it would be beneficial to have a solid ~arch 2.6 headerset for the sake of nptl and sanity and such. The change from linux-headers-2.6.6 linux26-headers also went fine here. --Wade -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
