Nope. Buildpkg bundles the stuff that was just compiled for the local |
| 8 |
architecture. You'd have to disable pentium vs amd stuff (mmx vs 3dnow) and |
| 9 |
might even have to boil the CFLAGS down to a simpler x86 (not sure if |
| 10 |
natively built 686 executables run on amd, but going down to a 386 or 486 |
| 11 |
would work). |

In the end tho the hoops you'd have to jump through to make it work will mean |
| 14 |
sacraficing the performance increase you get by targeting a specific |
| 15 |
platform. |

You'd almost be better of running a binary distrib rather than trying to |
| 18 |
figure out how to get this working. |
