Hello, everyone! |

It's my first mail to this list. I hope the community here is as |
4 |
friendly as the one at the general "gentoo-user" list ;-) |
5 |
Please, forgive me if open some threads about already discussed issues |
6 |
until I catch up with rhythm of the list. |

So let me start a with 2 newbie questions caused by my first impressions |
9 |
from the x86_64 world: |
10 |
|
11 |
1) I use CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -mfpmath=sse -msse -msse2 -msse3 |
12 |
-m3dnow -mmmx -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fpic". Portage complains |
13 |
with *red letters* about the fpic flag. Every time I emerge something it |
14 |
says that "fpic breaks things", but I haven't met a single breakage so |
15 |
far. Is that a bug? Actually there was an ebuild which could not be |
16 |
compiled if mysql was compiled w/o "fpic". I'm not 100% sure but AFAIR |
17 |
it was dev-perl/DBD-mysql. |
18 |
|
19 |
2) I see too many flags that are disabled by the profile - the kind with |
20 |
the parenthesis around them, like "(-3dnow)". Why? As I mentioned above |
21 |
I enable some of these through my CFLAGS - e.g. (-mmx), (-mmxext), |
22 |
(-sse) and (-sse2) and everything works perfect. |
