That had an interesting set of configuration questions about optimization, though the whole thing may be a little too automatic for me. It did also answer two other of my questions: * athlon optimizations are not available until gcc 3.x, so this is probably way I was getting -march=i686 in my kernel builds (mentioned in my other message). I'm gcc 2.95. * it warns that strong optimization (-O3 presumably) may lead to stability problems.
