I've had fun with it too. Has anyone seen a nice summary of the sorts of compiler optimizations that people are using with Gentoo? I'm not a C hacker so I don't understand all the various gcc options. Right now I've got mine set as: Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Pentium III+/Pentium 4/Athlon exclusive (binaries # will use the P6 instruction set and only run on P6+ systems) CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" I think these are fairly conservative. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.
