Not sure if it will work that way, and I guess it will depend if there |
| 18 |
is no 3dnow instructions in use - might be interesting to test though. |

It might just be that for the k6, even with -march/cpu=i586, things are |
| 21 |
compiled wrong (and might be for some athlon as well). As a side note, |
| 22 |
do you have a relative more complete list of what is not working ? Try |
| 23 |
to be more specific - portage will not cut it, as it was only utils from |
| 24 |
coreutils that segfaulted for coredumb, rather is it python as well, |
| 25 |
etc. |
