Conditional moves are a *huge* benefit (in the order of 20% IIRC in typical code), for compiler-generated code just as much as for hand-written assembly. Having said that, I'm not convinced optimising the kernel does make a lot of difference in the end :-) (Compiling all userland software for 686 would be much more useful I guess...) > - gnumach and gnumach-dbg packages become transition packages to > gnumach-image-486 and gnumach-image-1.3.99-486-dbg, and break the old > grub-pc which would assume /boot/gnumach.gz You mean versions of grub-pc before the patch to add *all* "gnumach*" binaries instead of just gnumach.gz? -antrik- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
