Hello,

I need to build gcc 4.2 on a core 2 duo system.  The only 4.2.x version
is 4.2.4, which is masked by ~.  When I try to build it fails:

...
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1/work/build/./gcc/xgcc 
-B/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1/work/build/./gcc/ 
-B/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem 
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include 
-O2  -O2 -O2 -march=core2 -pipe  -DIN_GCC    -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition  -isystem 
./include  -fPIC -g -DHAVE_GTHR_DEFAULT -DIN_LIBGCC2 -D__GCC_FLOAT_NOT_NEEDED  
-msse -c \
                
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1/work/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/config/i386/crtfastmath.c
 \
                -o crtfastmath.o
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1/work/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/config/i386/crtfastmath.c:1:
 error: bad value (core2) for -march= switch
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1/work/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/config/i386/crtfastmath.c:1:
error: bad value (core2) for -mtune= switch

I do indeed have -march=core2 in /etc/make.conf.  I suppose I could
change -march= to something else and try again - but what should I
change it to?  gcc-4.2.4 would only be used for non-portage compiling
so, am I right in thinking that after it is built it would be safe to
revert to -march=core2?

Thanks,
Roger
