Hi everybody

I recently installed an out-of-the box RedHat 6.0.
Since i have a Pentium II, i assume i would gain performance by
compiling with i686 optimizations, and maybe by recompiling kernel, KDE
and so on.......

So my question is : how do i do this ?
Do i need to recompile egcs ? glibs ? in which order ? with which flags
?
and after i compiled the libraries, do i need to change for instance
/etc/ld.so.conf ?

Could somebody point me at some documents ? Or simply answer on the
mailing-list ;-)

I tried to compile both egcs & then glibc-2.1.1, but when i installed
(in /usr/local/lib), and tried to update my /etc/ld.so.conf (adding
/usr/local/lib & then running ldconfig), i just ended crashing my system
(ie whenever i tried to launch a process, i go a message like 'can't
find ld-linux.so.2', and of course nothing did work at all...........)

Since i don't really enjoy booting from rescue disk & moving the
/usr/local/lib dir to something else, i would appreciate some help ;-)

TIA for your answers

Nicolas Weeger
