Hi, I have been asked to install gentoo on a p4 with hyperthreading as
part of a benchmarking series.  I havent been able to find much on
hyperthreading and gcc-3.2.3.  Does it support HT?  what are the best
CFLAGS ?  Does the sse2 bug still exist in this version of gcc?

It looks like an smp kernel is needed - is 2.6 better than 2.4, and
which sources?
