Could this happen a default in clean installation/manual sometime? Most
people could leave this lake it is and never think about what flags to
use.

I suppose if gcc 4.2 ever goes stable it could... Or if you
tell people to keyword gcc right away to 4.2 and emerge it, change the
cflags to native, then emerge -e world it would. (Not very ideal and
it's time consuming...)

(I could be wrong though...)

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe"
would be sufficient.

On my system, it gives me (I have a core 2 duo)
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -mtune=generic -pipe"
while with gcc-4.3, I get
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -pipe"

So -march=native handles both, -march and -mtune

Just a tiny hijack :-)

My new laptop will have a T7100 CPU. I'd like to know what CFLAGS to use,
but even before that should I use an AMD64 or IA64 installation medium?

hello,



in case that you want use 64bit system chose amd64 and -march=nocona

Thank you very much.

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe"

should do it if your running stable AMD64. If you happened to use
gcc-4.2 or later on AMD64 you could do something like this:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mtune=native -pipe"

OK, thanks. What then is IA64 for?

Maybe this wiki page could help:

Intel Itanium processors. (Your T7100 is a Core2)

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags

Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad / Xeon 51xx/53xx

vendor_id *: GenuineIntel

cpu family *: 6

model *: 15

model name *: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU XXXX @ XXXGHz



32 bit profile (x86)


CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"


64 bit profile (amd64)


CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"


Note:


GCC 4.3 has -march=core2[1], but Gentoo has nothing above
4.2 in portage.
