Greetings, Noticing Gaetan Nadon's proposed patch to prevent the building of xf86-video-geode on non-x86 platforms, I was wondering if we should take this approach one step further:
In addition to exiting gracefully with a warning at ./configure time if the build host is non-x86, what if we enforced -march=geode if GCC >= 4.3 is found (or -march=i586 if an older version is found)? In our Geode driver's case, not only do we know which platforms to exclude, we also know the target platform to always be -march=geode. In order to accommodate the default compiler flags of distributions, we could make the setting of our -march flags only be used if the -march option is not already set. Alternately, we could make ./configure also accept Atom and x86_64 as suitable build hosts, in which case we'd have to enforce -march=geode always.
