> Unless I'm missing something, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned one potential problem. Unless you are careful, code you compile for an AMD may not run on an Intel. If you are just going to compile binary packages to move and install, this might be OK (assuming you don't trip over trying to run test during a build.) You should be able to come up with settings so compiled code will run on either architecture, but I have no idea what the side effects might be, such as larger and/or less efficient code. I almost wonder if this doesn't count as cross-compiling, even though it is not a totally incompatible architecture. Hopefully someone can either expand on this, or tell me why I'm barking up the wrong tree. |
