When building ImageMagick on i686 and x86_64, the '-mtune' GCC option [0] is automatically set to optimize the output for the host processor [1].
My understand of the GCC documentation is that the binaries will still run on other processor types, which is why we haven't noticed any related problems with ImageMagick so far. But, this definitely makes the ImageMagick package non-reproducible. Potential solutions: * Set '-mtune=generic' when building on x86_64 and i686. * Patch the build system to not try setting this flag at all. I'm not sure how to achieve this, but I'm sure it's possible. * Your great idea here :) These are the two files that contain the string '-mtune' in the ImageMagick source tree: http://git.imagemagick.org/repos/ImageMagick/blob/ImageMagick-6/m4/ax_gcc_archflag.m4 I recommend *not* opening this file in your browser. It's very long and might crash your browser. Try cloning the Git repo instead. hXXp://git.imagemagick.org/repos/ImageMagick/blob/ImageMagick-6/configure [0] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.4/gcc/i386-and-x86-64-Options.html#i386-and-x86-64-Options [1] http://hydra.gnu.org/build/1441619/log#line-2626 [...] checking whether C compiler accepts -mtune=haswell... yes checking for gcc architecture flag... -mtune=haswell [...]
