Is there a specific reason -falign-functions=64 is used? -O2 implies -falign-functions so unless you have a specific need for a 64 byte alignment, it's redundant. Secondly, AFAIK the Pentium 3 doesn't have the sse2 instruction set, only P4's do. I don't know firefox's code too well but it's possible these random sites are triggering a branch of code that calls sse2 code and firefox is gracefully choking. And related to these sites that firefox chokes on, are there any common elements they all share? Perhaps a plugin or something thats called? Also, could you post your emerge --info? -Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
