Hi, In response to the march options, I tried to use both "-march=athlon-xp -g -O2" and "-march=i686 -g -O2" but it does not like it. It still gives the error message about the 386 commands.
When i use the ./configure command the march option is accepted as part of using gcc as it displays the following: checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=athlon-xp -g -O2 ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=athlon-xp -g -O2 ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=i686 -g -O2 ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=i686 -g -O2 ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes Can you please outline what I can do to eliminate the error message or which version of binutils i can install.
