Thanks very much for your suggestions. I suppose that's possible -- I
haven't found a reference that maps the output from /etc/cpuinfo to the
suggested CHOST and CFLAGS, and I feel kind of unclear on that. I don't
really know how names of processors, like "athlon", "celeron", "pentium",
etc., correspond to the possible values for CHOST/CFLAGS. Is there
a definitive reference? Speaking of that, why not just have there be an
option for Gentoo to read /proc/cpuinfo and choose a reasonable CFLAGS value
for it?
My last attempt failed the same way, after changing CFLAGS to "-march-k6-2
-pipe ". Will I have to recompile everything with different CFLAGS
and/or CHOST values?
Currently, from /etc/make.conf
USE="X gtk gnome -alsa"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=k6-2
-pipe "
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
RSYNC_RETRIES="3"
