Some bugreports, if you find them valid please enter them in bugzilla accordingly. I am not sure gentoo-dev is the correct list to send them to, if I got it wrong, I apologize. |

1. Kernel compilation and gcc |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The recommended gcc version for kernel compile is gcc 2.95.3. Using emerge to get any of the supported kernel packages should have a dependency set on 2.95.3 and a message informing the users to use gcc-config to change the gcc version while compiling the kernel (great tool gcc-config, btw.) |

2. Compiling gcc 2.95.3 with MAKEOPTS="-j5" (on 4 cpu platforms) /etc/make.conf fails. However, without using MAKEOPTS gcc compiles fine. My guess is that gcc simply doesn't like -jX where X is greater than 1, and should not use it, accordingly. |

3. unixODBC and qt |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
While bulding a new server from scratch (clean install, from stage1) and using USE="odbc X", 'emerge unixODBC' fails to compile qt (its marked as a depdendency) as the qt compilation tries to include sql/sqltypes.h that will consequently be installed at the end of 'emerge unixODBC' (hence, things are circular). To workaround it, USE="-odbc X", compile unixODBC, USE="odbc X", recompile qt (that was built part of unixODBC compile). |

4. It would be really nice if we had a tool to automate the detection of the build architecture (CHOST, -march & -mcpu) based on the info from /proc/cpu to help the newbie with the installation procedure. |
