Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Today, I ordered a new desktop from Dell (offer too good to pass up!). |
| 4 |
The system is a Dell XPS 8300 with an Intel Core i7 processor. I was |
| 5 |
reading the Gentoo wiki about safe CFLAGS and it said that march=native |
| 6 |
is recommended if I use gcc >= 4.2.3. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I looked at processor specific CFLAGS and if I am understanding this |
| 9 |
correctly, for an Intel i7, I would use march=prescott for a 32 bit OS. |
| 10 |
It also mentions march=core2 if using gcc > 4.3 for a 64-bit OS. |
| 11 |
However, it has amd64 in brackets. So would this be for an amd system? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Should I stick with march="native"? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Advice would be appreciated. |
