It was fixed, as were errors in compiling Glibc & Gcc, |
| 7 |
by enabling 'IA32' in the kernel: IIRC this isn't mentioned in the dox. |

The issue is why the package providing a necessity like 'revdep-rebuild' |
| 14 |
is not included in the 'system' list, but has to be emerged separately. |
| 15 |
Does anyone have an explanation (smile) ? |

The new machine (Intel Core 2 Duo 6750; memory 1066 MHz) is lightning-fast; |
| 18 |
the 2003 box (AMD Athlon 2500+; memory 400 MHz) is no sloth, |
| 19 |
but the new one is c 3 times faster (earlier downloads were c 5 min ) : |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
gtk+-2.10.14 13 m 5 m 1 s |
| 22 |
xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1 16 m 6 m 15 s |
| 23 |
glibc-2.6.1 41 m 13 m 4 s + download |
| 24 |
gcc-4.1.2 87 m 34 m 19 s + download |
| 25 |

It makes up for all those years I used my little XT (due for a museum) |
| 27 |
to access a UoT mainframe, being too poor to upgrade |
| 28 |
(which did prevent me from ever taking up M$ Windows (big grin)). |

As always, thanks to all the devs who make Gentoo work so well. |
