65 1. Check you RAM with memtest86+.
66 2. Drop your CFLAGS to "-march=opteron -O2 -pipe". Extreme CFLAGS wont
67 improve your performance anyway and I'm a bit suprised you're using such
68 CFLAGS on a server.
69 3. You aren't supposed to use a x86 profile on a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
70 system. Change to an amd64 profile instead.
