I am compiling my first set of code under Debian and the Debian package management system.
I downloaded the source for bash and I want to try to compile it for the i686 instruction set and with O3 optimization level. I am using the debian/rules build method and I am not able to figure out how to set up the environment for something other than i386 instruction set. I looked at dpkg-architecture, but that selects the processor family (i386, m68k, etc.), but not the specific processor type. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! Randy
