The current MSI's should be fine. Check on the very early ones though.

No. You need to avoid 2.2.7->2.2.11 because of a bug in Linux MTRR handling.

Nope. You could build a new glibc in theory and gain some speed.

With the 2.3.x kernel optimisations and egcs I'm using the following. I'll point
out right now some of these probably overlap and I'm not a gcc expert I just
tried and benched stuff
ifdef CONFIG_MK7
CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) -DCPU=686 -march=pentiumpro -mpentiumpro -malign-functions=4
-fschedule-insns2 -mwide-multiply -fexpensive-optimizations
CFLAGS += $(shell if $(CC) -march=i686 -S -o /dev/null -xc /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1;
then echo "-march=i686"; fi)
AFLAGS := $(AFLAGS) -DCPU=686
endif
