Today I saw in a gentoo cvs server email the following. |

* sys-devel/gcc/: ChangeLog, gcc-3.2.2-r4.ebuild, |
8 |
files/digest-gcc-3.2.2-r4: replace-flags "-march=pentium4" |
9 |
"-march=pentium3" to fix bug #16867 |
10 |
|
11 |
Now, I realise that the pentium4 is prone to errors but I hope this does |
12 |
not begin a spree of changes where -march=pentium4 flags will |
13 |
automatically downgraded to -march=pentium3 by the ebuild or otherwise. |
14 |
|
15 |
I have used pentium4 for some time now with no problems whatsoever and |
16 |
would like the raise the issue of whether downgrading of flags should be |
17 |
manual and left to the user rather than being automatically modified. A |
18 |
choice would be nice too. |
19 |
|
20 |
Also, what exactly is responsible for pentium4 bugs? Is it gcc and is |
21 |
there hope of this being resolved with future versions? And will using |
22 |
pentium3 result in a noticeable decline in performance? |
23 |
|
24 |
Many thanks |
