Simple question, but I'm not entirely clear from reading the documentation If I have a gcc configured for i686-* target system and I use that compiler to build a package without any -m submodel options , is the generated code 1) only suitable for i686 and better, or 2) tuned for i686 and better but still OK for i386
I know I can select exactly what I want with -m options, but what is the default for code generation? Whatever the answer, is it a generic rule that holds true for submodels of all architectures? What about 32bit code generated with x86_64 targeted gcc (with -m32)? Andrew Walrond
