Correct Rendering For Pentium 2 C And CXX Flags

jlowell · Guru Joined: 08 Jan 2003 Posts: 389

I'm doing a stage 1 install of 1.4-rc4 at the moment. The machine has a Pentium 2 processor. The C and CXX flags I planned to use were "-march=pentium2 -03 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer". Looking at /etc/make.conf I see a reference to pentium2 (Celeron) in the information about processors, but not plain old pentium2. Should I render the flags "-march=pentium2(Celeron)" or "-march=pentium2"?

Hi Neil,

From Jersey, huh? I was born in New Brunswick and lived in South River the first ten years of my life. Moved away in 1950. Does Secaucus still have that awful smell?

Thanks for your reply on the p2 question. You're right and here's some confirmation I just found for the record:

somewhere on the tips and tricks someone posted a nice shell script that figures out what to put. for my pII 266, i use:
[code]
CFLAGS="-march=pentuim2 -mmmx -O3 -pipe"

EDIT: Found it
