CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r1 USE="boundschecking fortran gcj gtk nls objc -bootstrap -build -doc -hardened -ip28 -multislot -nocxx -nopie -nossp -vanilla" Place: ftp.qrypto.org PS: to install put it in / (root dir), tar xjvf gcc-3.4.6-r1.tbz2 (ignore last massages). Then if lucky remerge any GCC you want. HTH.Rumen
