VIA C3 en libpthreads

[Ozymandias]

hi there,

The last 4 months I had to do without xmms and/or gkrellm because my libpthreads were broken (running only one libpthread program at a time was fine, running more resulted in random crashes of these programs). Finally I have figured it out. I own a VIA C3 933MHz processor which is NOT a 686 nor 586, when glibc was compiled with -march=586, libpthreads were broken, but using -mcpu=686 they work fine.

Conclusion, when you own a VIA C3 don't compile for 586! I will try some benchmarks to see which options do produce the best results when compiling, but for now I am happy ...
