If you're using the the GCC from stable ("x86") portage (GCC 3.3), then |
| 8 |
you should probably use something like: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -msse2 -pipe" |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
GCC 3.4 (marked unstable, "~x86") makes it a little simple by adding |
| 13 |
a Pentium-M specific architecture type: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Although, on a laptop you might want to use "-Os" (size optimization) |
| 18 |
in place of "-O2", as the disk is a lot slower than desktop machines |
| 19 |
and you will probably have longer startup times for programs. I'm not |
| 20 |
too sure on that last part, a I don't have a laptop, though. Anyone |
| 21 |
else want to take a stab at that? :) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Hope that helps. |
