Yes, OK. I want to play with this manually for a few weeks, then I'll
use buildpkg and PGKDIR. One last qustion. If the USE settings are identical
and the CFLAGS are similar between an AMD and Intel, can I use the
approach with one system being Intel and the other being AMD:

AMD
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"

Intel
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe "

This will work too?

Thankks in advance!
