Hi there,

I have a RedHat 7.3 machine that can build the 7.3.4 RPMs if required -
it only contains RPMs from the vanilla CD or from updates.redhat.com.
I've just done a test build and everything seems OK except that the C
compiler is passed the -mcpu=i686 flag - I'm guessing I need to somehow
change this to i386 so it will binaries will run on actual i386
machines? Can someone point me in the right direction?


Cheers,

Mark.

The -mcpu flag doesn't do what you seems to think it does.
It still generates i386 compatible code, but favours i686 processor
timings etc.
