28 You don't need to follow this guide. Just emerge and you'll be fine.
29 However, you might want to make adjustments to CFLAGS (especially when
30 you have a newer CPU, there are new -march settings for your chip) and
31 reemerge cpu-intensive programs and maybe important libraries like glibc
32 to profit from the new features.
