:?: ac_sources-2.4.22-ac4, smp, pentium 4,

I notice that when i

emerge xfree

the compiler is using -march=pentium3 when I have -march=pentium4 specified in /etc/make.conf?

Any ideas?

Have you tried env-update?

I'm a noob too, so I may be wrong...

in the xfree ebuild .. if u see it is mentioned to replace the pentium4 with a pentium3 for compatibility reasons !!

If u just wanna freak out then edit the ebuild for ur installation and remove that line !!

See if xfree works for u !, i wanted to do the same but i had to got my pc running in least time ! so i dint try that out !!

Maybe it might just work for u, eh !! BE SURE ! if u get crachs or ur xfree is borked, just replace the orignal value and recompile xfree !! ..

Well that shud be it !

Bye,
Jassi

In the xfree ebuild:
Code:

        # Should fix bug #4189.  gcc-3.x have problems with -march=pentium4
        # and -march=athlon-tbird
        replace-flags "-march=pentium4" "-march=pentium3"
        replace-flags "-march=athlon-tbird" "-march=athlon"


In other words, the xfree maintainers have decided to not allow -march=pentium4 due to stability reasons.
