Nope. Buildpkg bundles the stuff that was just compiled for the local architecture. You'd have to disable pentium vs amd stuff (mmx vs 3dnow) and might even have to boil the CFLAGS down to a simpler x86 (not sure if natively built 686 executables run on amd, but going down to a 386 or 486 would work). In the end tho the hoops you'd have to jump through to make it work will mean sacraficing the performance increase you get by targeting a specific platform. You'd almost be better of running a binary distrib rather than trying to figure out how to get this working. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
