If the poster being referred to is me, that wasn't what I meant to say, |
| 38 |
or rather what I meant to be *understood*-- what I meant was that |
| 39 |
apparently the Handbook recommends using the k8 flag, but people using |
| 40 |
that flag seem (and I stress "seem", as I don't follow this issue that |
| 41 |
closely, naturally) to be running into problems, whereas those using the |
| 42 |
amd64 flag are not (or at least not the same problems). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Now, I don't know the truth of the matter, but that would lead me to |
| 45 |
suspect that there could be *outdated information in the Gentoo |
| 46 |
documentation* (thus, a "documentation bug"), which, if those affected |
| 47 |
can verify, should perhaps be submitted. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Sorry for the confusion. |
