9 You may look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Pentium-M_.2F_Centrino_.28Intel.29

11 If you use x86 (not ~x86) then you have a gcc < 3.4.3. The page above
12 proposes to use: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe". A friend of mine with
13 a Pentium M uses CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer",
14 which is dangerous if you believe the wiki-page.

16 If you plan to use gentoo on many x86 systems with different CPU's and you
17 want to share binarys. I recommend to use: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686
18 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" (runs on any Intel/AMD/... starting from
19 Pentium2-class CPU).
