BTW: Would it be usefull to make "-xarch=pentium_pro" (or "-xtarget=pentium_pro" ?) the default for Solaris x86 binaries (based on the detail that Intel Pentium-1 seems to be the minimum hardware which is currently supported) ?
We'd have to EOF support for Pentium-class CPU's pre-PPRO, but it's about time to do that anyway. (The PPro has been out for just over a decade now according to the timeline at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors ) Making an MMX-capable Pentium Pro-class CPU (i.e. Pentium II, introduced in May 1997) the minimum supported hardware for Solaris Nevada would make a lot of sense to me. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
