Currently, I use "-march=i686" for my 3 machines, a P4, a PIII, and a PII (and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeee<g>).
According to the gcc docs at... http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.5/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options "i586 is equivalent to pentium and i686 is equivalent to pentiumpro." Does this mean that I would get better optimization if I use "pentium2", "pentium3" or "pentium4", as appropriate? I am using the available flags (-mmmx, -msse, -msse2, -mfpmath=sse, etc) as appropriate. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
