AFAIK the CFLAGS ONLY control the optimiziation, while the USEFLAGS only control the configuration - if somebody built in some optimiziation for mmx/sse, fine, this would be 'activated' by the useflags, not the cflags. hm, about your CFLAGs, I suppose, -march=pentium4 already sets them (mmx/sse), but this is something easily found in man gcc ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
