Just paranoid. That's worthwhile, it goes real quick once gcc and glibc are built. Plus (until recently at least) the published stages always had an out of date gcc on them. > I used to do it twice before I started installing apps or desktops but > I've cut back. :-) Twice is pointless :-) gcc rebuilds itself twice to ensure that the binary is built with the same version as the result, and verifies that the last two are bit-wise identical. Then building the toolchain, then building the rest of world gives you exactly what you hope to get from doing it twice. > > If you care to compare: > > mark@firefly ~ $ cat /etc/make.conf > # Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more > # detailed example. > CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe" > #Safe CFlags for the Core-i7, saved for reference > #CFLAGS="-march=core2 -msse4 -mcx16 -msahf -O2 -pipe" > CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" > # WARNING: Changing your CHOST is not something that should be done > lightly. # Please consult http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml > before changing.
