14 Hello Darren,
15
16 You must have ESP....
17 After banging my head around this install for a while, I looked at
18 /etc/make.conf.examples:
19
20 <snip>

22 # Please note that if you experience strange issues with a package, it may be
23 # due to gcc's optimizations interacting in a strange way. Please test the
24 # package (and in some cases the libraries it uses) at default optimizations
25 # before reporting errors to developers.
26 #
27 # -mcpu=<cpu-type> means optimize code for the particular type of CPU without
28 # breaking compatibility with other CPUs. GCC 3.4 has deprecated support for
29 # -mcpu, so use -mtune instead if using this compiler.
30 #
31 # -march=<cpu-type> means to take full advantage of the ABI and instructions
32 # for the particular CPU; this will break compatibility with older CPUs (for
33 # example, -march=athlon-xp code will not run on a regular Athlon, and
34 # -march=i686 code will not run on a Pentium Classic.)
35 #
36 # CPU types supported in gcc-3.2 and higher: athlon-xp, athlon-mp,
37 # athlon-tbird, athlon, k6, k6-2, k6-3, i386, i486, i586 (Pentium), i686
38 # (PentiumPro), pentium, pentium-mmx, pentiumpro, pentium2 (Celeron),
39 # pentium3, and pentium4.

42 So my next question, because googling produces nothing, is
43 which arch to use for the k6?
44
45 Are you suggesting I use this in my make.conf file?
46 CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i586 -pipe"
47 CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
48 CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
49
50 ????
51
52 I've got to find an i586 iso now.
53 Do you think 'stage1-x86-2006.1.tar.bz2' might work?
54 along with portage-latest.tar.bz2 ????
55
56 I was hoping to use an iso with glibc2.4, gcc4.1 and make.profile 2006.1
57
58 I'm not sure whether I should use a stage 3 or stage 1 tarball?
59 Ideas?
