Hi,
I have been up and running a while and am running stable but this is
Gentoo. ;) I found a script that tells you what your CFLAGS are
suposed to be and it is different from what I am using. This is what I
am using now, from make.conf of course:
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
This is what the script said:
-march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -m3dnow
I assume I would have to add the-O3 to that though.
I have a AMD XP 2500+ and 1GB of ram. I like it to run fast even if it
takes longer to compile. I think that is where the -O3 comes in but be
gentle if I am wrong. For those who may read this and not tell the
difference, that is a minus sign, the letter O and the number three.
What do you folks think? Is the one I am using better or the one it
says? I do have long uptimes so I do want to stay stable. I have went
as long as 9 months with no reboot.
Thanks.

Well, it looks pretty much like my CLAFGS:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -msse
-mmmx -m3dnow -pipe" (the same I used with LFS).
The difference being -O2 instead of -O3.
I don't think you'll gain much with the new CFLAGS, but they won't hurt
stability.
