maybe that was my misunderstading..on a brand-new opteron 64-bit...the architecture use flag i use is k8. I see no real reason to run 32-bit gentoo on a 64-bit box...64-bit support in gentoo was why we switched distros when we switched to 64-bit servers. my -march is k8 for those boxes. again, that's with a 64-bit opteron...if you're running something else, you might need a different flag. i believe, to your last question, it would still be i386.
OK, to cut short the confusion, Harry, your march setting in your CFLAGS should be k8, and the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS should be either x86, or ~x86, depending on if you want to run stable. HTH- James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
