So Walter's point would be that you could add mmx mmxext sse sse2 3dnow 3dnowext to your use flags, either globally in your make.conf file or for specific packages in package.use. Adding these flags will enable clode within the program being emerged specifically supporting those features. My point was that without adding these flags to the compile options (CXFLAGS) in make.conf I'm not clear that adding the flags in the USE section of make.conf does anything to generate actual sse or mmx code. I'd like to hear from some folks who really understand how gcc works about this. It's confused me for quite awhile. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
