arch=pentium2/4 too, just for consistency). The way it is worded it seems that it is a problem with *some* versions of gcc only on p3, not p4.

mizations, but k8 has all of them and more ( sse3 ). So, if it is ok to build the k8 kernel with -march=k8 why is it not ok to built the p4 kernel with -march=pentium4 ? I may be wrong, but any way I think of it it looks like a performance hit to build a p4 kernel with -march=i686. Ivan Yosifov.

=pentium4 ? I tried building the kernel with -march=pentium4 for the sake of experiment and got no ill effects. Thanks, Ivan Yosifov. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.
