Certain program have support for either of these extentions. The program will most likely use the best one for the job. They can be mutually exclusive, however, if you use the CFLAG -mfpmath=sse,387. As far as I know it, it will try to use SSE instructions for math where possible, in detriment of

Well, if they're /not/ mutually exclusive, another question that comes up is... If a program is compiled with sse or sse2 support on a Pentium II, will the program run slower than it otherwise would? (Some of the programs I have are compiled and then distributed to servers with different

Hi, Can anybody tell me where i can obtain open source code for gentoo. Im particularly looking for code for programs in /bin and /sbin. I am on a project to find out how different distros implement a few of these programs. So far i have only been lucky with OpenSolaris and FreeBSD. Thanks,

I've done this lots. I didn't have near the problems you seem to be having. If you can chroot to /bin/bash you shouldn't have a problem. But you need pppconfig in addition to ppp. According to my notes I had to USE=-unicode before I could emerge pppconfig. Don't recall where that came from; you
