Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo installation: compile fails
Yes, I don't have any problems with pentium4 flag. I only had a problem compiling xmms-1.2.7 but it's a known problem in forums it isn't related with pentium4. Of course I read about gcc with pentium4 flag and the bad instructions generated for SSE2 but the status of bug #24379 (mentioned in /etc/make.conf) is resolved. Sorry for my English. Regards.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo installation: compile fails
Hi, I tried to install Gentoo from stage 1 2 and 3 foolowing the very good installation docs but in all cases different programs refuse to compile with more or less the same error message: {Standard Input} Assembler messages {Standard Input} Error: Suffix or operands invalid for `movd' When starting with stage1 it was gettext that did not compile and IIRC after stage 3 was ppp that refused to compile with the same error message. I downloaded and tried the new gentoo 2004 stages as well but the problem persists. Any ideas what goes wrong? Regards, Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I compiled gentoo for my laptop with CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer without problems (this was december 20-21).

I would think that only all new software installed would take advantage of the different cflags. An when you finally decide to do a 'emerge -u world' it will use the new cflags also.
