I've been trying to switch over to using "apt-get source" for my new SMP-P3 box and I noticed the variables DEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386 DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i386 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i386-linux DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386 DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i386 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i386-linux
from the output of the build. Is there a way to set these so built code is automatically set to i686? Are there environment variables somewhere for enabling i686 and/or SMP by default? I grepped around my system, but I didn't find this and the man pages for apt-get and dpkg-buildpackage didn't really say anything about this. What about making gcc more SMP-aware (a .gccrc somewhere?)? Is there a Debian SMP/optimizing mini-howto somewhere (or should I think about writing it after I get all this straightened out?)? -- Matthew H. Ray mray@ jump.net
