General thoughts when building a home gentoo workstation that you want
to last a _long_ time:
- Quality, durability, and flexibility of the motherboard, power
supply, and chassis are the most important items to focus on. You
want a motherboard that is capable of lasting for 10yrs w/o problem,
so
Hi João!
Seems to be that the bulldozer and FX architecture is from GCC 4.6.3 up
fully supported.

Great discussion.
I'm in a similar situation. I'm using a core2duo for about 5 years, and I
think it is time to upgrade it.
But, after reading this, there are still to doubts:
1) r the amd processors really fully supported? When I compile my kernel
(amd64), for instance, while looking for

Thank you very much for your great description that makes my decision
easier.
However, one last question
On a modern AMD machine, would I have to enable hyperthreading support
in the kernel as well, and should / must I double the cores at the
MAKEOPTS flag ?!

Correct.
Just match -j to the number of cores your CPU provides, and that's
it.
Well, YMMV. You can spend a lot of time adjusting -j on a per-system
basis to account for things like I/O. Right
