I think this would probably be more useful if it dumped out the CHOST |
| 18 |
line in addition to the optimizations. This would help with people that |
| 19 |
have the more uncommon processors to set the correct CHOST. I seen more |
| 20 |
than a few times K6* users have had CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu", when it |
| 21 |
should be i586-pc-linux-gnu. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
so it'd print this for a K6-2: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
$ ./gcccpuopt |
| 26 |
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" |
| 27 |
CFLAGS="-march=k6-2" |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So it could easily be pasted into make.conf. (-mmmx is redundant) |
