I think this is what the pentium-builder package is designed to do: Package: pentium-builder Priority: extra Section: devel Installed-Size: 16 Maintainer: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.9 Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-all/devel/pentium-builder_0.9.deb Size: 3482 MD5sum: c224e31a36961e4511fe7051a93e4c7a Description: force pentium optimized compilation Replaces gcc, cc, and g++ with scripts that build with pentium optimizations, using egcc. . By default, after installing this package, the compilers will behave normally. However, if the environment variable DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=pentium is set, they will enter pentium optimized compile mode. Followups to somewhere other than debian-testing, please. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
