Looking at the macro you found, I don't think it is doing exactly the same thing as the patch. You are undefining __i686, but we want to make the definition of __i686 to be itself, not a non-existant define. It looks like your method is allowing the system to build, but with less optimal code than what the developers intended. I suspect that it doesn't make a practical difference. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
