We handle this kind of thing on SPARC (eg for vis and v9 code) by having subprofiles for the different CPU capabilities, and using masks in the appropriate subprofiles. Doing this could be a bit messy on x86 though, at least until we get full profile inheritance capabilities... -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
