When compiling from source, you can use a CFLAGS option such as the following: --march=i686.If you use rpmbuild to build your SRPMS, you can edit /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc and comment out this line:
This would work fine for a Pentium platform, but what about an AMD K6/Athlon/Duron? I've looked in the man pages for gcc, but cannot see any reference to the "--
march" option.
I've been told I could use "--march=K6", though I don't know that a "K7" option would be available. Any ideas?
buildarchtranslate: athlon: i386
Assuming you're compiling on an Athlon machine, rpmbuild will use OPT="-O2 -march=athlon" without having to specify --target=athlon
