I was reading the Gentoo wiki about safe CFLAGS and it said that march=3Dnative= is recommended if I use gcc >=3D 4.2.3. I looked at processor specific CFLAGS and if I am understanding this correctly, for an Intel i7, I would use march=3Dprescott for a 32 bit OS.= =20 It also mentions march=3Dcore2 if using gcc > 4.3 for a 64-bit OS.=20 However, it has amd64 in brackets. So would this be for an amd system? Should I stick with march=3D"native"? Advice would be appreciated.=20 Regards, Colleen --=20 Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.o= rg
