4 Hiya list,
5
6 I bought myself a new AMD Athlon64 in December, and initially installed
7 it as a 64-bit Gentoo. In January this year I decided to reinstall it as
8 a 32-bit OS due to constant issues with flash plugins, win32 codecs etc.
9
10 Seems I made one muck-up ... I used (for the 32-bit OS):
11
12 CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
13 CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -msse2 -O2 -pipe -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer"
14 CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
15
16 instead of (according to
17 http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Opteron.2FAthlon64_.28AMD.29):
18
19 CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
20 CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -msse2 -O2 -pipe -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer"
21 CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
22
23
24 Notice the athlon-xp <=> athlon64...
25
26 Does anyone with an good understanding of these flags know the
27 consequences/results of
28 a) Keeping the old flags (athlon-xp)?
29 b) Changing to the new flags without a total reinstall?
30
31 While I understand that I quite possibly have to reinstall several
32 packages if I change the flags, which are the ones to pay particular
33 note to, or is such a change drastic to the OS requiring a total rebuild
34 of everything?
35
36 Please advise.
37
38 Greetings,
39 Ralph
