Hello, Gentoo. I've just treated myself to a new machine based on a Ryzen 9 7900 processor. I chose the second newest generation so as not to get caught out with not quite debugged systems like I did the last time round. Anyhow, I'm up to the stage of configuring the kernel, and I'm stuck at the

Hello, my 8-year old gentoo HTPC is giving clear signals that the motherboard is about to die so I ordered new components. The dying box is an AMD FX-6530 built with -march=native. The new box will be Ryzen 7 5800X. I'd like to rebuild the dying boxwith some more generic -march option so t
