a problem building BLFS on the desktop since the toolchain was built on
the portable? I didn't optimize any of the packages.
I imagine it will be fine. The base toolchain probably thinks it's on
gcc's definition of i686 (that is, a pentium II with the cmov
instruction). The problems people get are caused by optimisations for a
specific architecture - sometimes in the kernel. The compiler from
LFS-6.0 probably predates the pentium M and doesn't offer any special
optimisations for it.

I guess I can run the config.guess in the binutils package to
doublecheck. Thanks.
