After banging my head around this install for a while, I looked at /etc/make.conf.examples: # Please note that if you experience strange issues with a package, it may be # due to gcc's optimizations interacting in a strange way. Please test the # package (and in some cases the libraries it uses) at default optimizations # before reporting errors to developers. # # -mcpu= means optimize code for the particular type of CPU without # breaking compatibility with other CPUs. GCC 3.4 has deprecated support for # -mcpu, so use -mtune instead if using this compiler. # # -march= means to take full advantage of the ABI and instructions # for the particular CPU; this will break compatibility with older CPUs (for # example, -march=athlon-xp code will not run on a regular Athlon, and # -march=i686 code will not run on a Pentium Classic.) # # CPU types supported in gcc-3.2 and higher: athlon-xp, athlon-mp, # athlon-tbird, athlon, k6, k6-2, k6-3, i386, i486, i586 (Pentium), i686 # (PentiumPro), pentium, pentium-mmx, pentiumpro, pentium2 (Celeron), # pentium3, and pentium4. So my next question, because googling produces nothing, is which arch to use for the k6? Are you suggesting I use this in my make.conf file? CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i586 -pipe" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" ???? I've got to find an i586 iso now. Do you think 'stage1-x86-2006.1.tar.bz2' might work? along with portage-latest.tar.bz2 ???? I was hoping to use an iso with glibc2.4, gcc4.1 and make.profile 2006.1 I'm not sure whether I should use a stage 3 or stage 1 tarball? Ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
