Wouldn't leaving the CHOST at i386-pc-linux-gnu build unoptimized binaries? No. Alexander Skwar Thanks for that. My CHOST flag is set to i386-pc-linux-gnu even though it is not. Just a piece of mind I guess not building unoptimized binaries. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

To explain, keep in mind that optimisation and chost are two different things. i386 is a lowest common denominator instruction set that will run on most 386 and above x86 processors. i4/5/686 adds few specialised instructions and I believe the compiler is able to use them to produce faster
