I meant only for x86_32. Beyond LFS, there are no doubt some packages which look for processor-specific optimizations and may manage to detect what is available on the build machine. But, at the moment I don't build for these machines and all my x86_64 boxes are amd. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
