I`d Suggest going for GCC 3.4.* It`s still masked but it has a Pentium-m flag (-mtune=pentium-m or -march=pentium-m) and is running rock solid here for about half a year now on a Dell Inspiron 8600 (Pentium-M 1.7). before that I used -march=pentium -mcpu=pentium4 together. -- [email protected] mailing list
