Hmmmn... dunno. I would *ass*u*me that the Gentoo installation disks

certainly allow you to compile (& optimise) for ALL i86 architectures,
tho'.
The packages that come on the CDs are optimized so that they will run on only
that architecture or better.
Ah, thanks for clarifying.
The best thing to do is either get a CD set for
each of your architectures or (my choice) just get the lowest common
denominator. As new versions become available, software will be recompiled
with the optimizations you want, which will cover most of the system after a
couple of months.
Ah, yes! I meant to mention that.
