Jude, the initial CFLAGS I suggested are safe, but suboptimal. They do not tune your system's compiler to utilise all of your CPU's instructions. In the first instance, you should set the CFLAGS as appropriate for your PC and specifically include -march=native, as suggested by Waldo. Please

Michael, The changes you selected worked. I got mirrorselect compiled and ran it and got http ftp and rsync repos defined. I'm wondering have all of the gentoo mirrors got binaries? -- Jude "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use

Hi Jude, If you intend to use Gentoo's precompiled binary packages, to speed up your OS installation, you should have 'generic' CFLAGS; e.g.: CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" Please check these pages: https://www.gentoo.org/news/2023/12/29/Gentoo-binary.html

Hi Jude, When the build failed, emerge asked you post 3 things when you need support. Of those, you've managed to omit the most important thing, i.e. the build log. Without it, it would be impossible to help you. Regards, Waldo On Thu, May 23, 2024, 23:46 Jude DaShiell wrote: > Portage 3.0.63
