As requested, this line is from /proc/cpuinfo, but I could have told you that this was a Pentium 4 since I built the machine. model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Despite how this looks, I'm not exactly an idiot. :-) When I first installed Gentoo, (okay, maybe back then I *was* and idiot), I read the Handbook and somehow got the impression that if I wanted backward compatibility, that I should set -march= lower than what I actually had. Maybe I misinterpreted? Can I change this without having to go through the whole process of rebuilding my system again? However, and again I have to say why? .... This is the same machine that I build Gentoo on a bit over a year ago. Granted, it was a different kernel, different gcc, but why all of a sudden can't I install libvisual with the -march=686 when this is what I've been using all along and I never had any problems install libvisual before?
