Yes. Applying it would be similar to adding the following to the trunk for x86: DefaultGcc2i386Opt -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 In other words, it would make the default build run only on EV56 Alpha machines or higher. There are a great many EV5 machines out there, and most people I encounter running Alpha (such as on #alpha on freenode) are using EV5 boxen. Please don't apply this to the default build, it is something that someone should add as an architecture customization IMHO. -- Mike A.
