From the bug comments: ==== No, seriously now, found this on http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Eden_C3.2FEzra_.28Via_EPIA.29 "More recent versions of the C3 do support the cmov instruction and hence -march=i686" But I assume that SuSE wants to maintain compatibility even with those guys who own these "older" versions too... ==== The people with older C3 versions could just run SUSE 10.1 on them, or run SLED10 that's supported for 7 years.
