I regret that either I expressed myself the wrong way or several guys seem to be impatient in reading what I wrote. Here is again what I have to ask for or make my statement for: I can not exactly say when this described phenomenon occured the first time, but several days ago, I think it was around the last days in March or very early in April, I compiled ports on both architectures, Intel and AMD and on each system I have had the appropriate CPU type enabled in /etc/make.conf. On both types, I use at this specific moment separated trees to compile ports, means: each machine has its own ports tree. On Intel systems, I can compile each port (except open-motif and xv) with CPU type set to pentiumpro (all are SMP systems running with PIII CPUs). No problem!! On AMD based system, XFree86-4, gimp1, pgp6, Mesa3 wont compile while CPU type is declared as k7, k6 or k6-2 (compiler options are always switched towards k6, so it doesn't matter!). If I remove this option in /etc/make.conf to come down to the base i386/i486 compatibility, all packages compile perfect (except open-motif and xv, but this seems to be a missing file to patch by the newest ports' update, patch produces an error ...). I made prior this year a posting about conflicts with setting CPU options! I like the performance hints I get by setting the appropriate CPU type, but in some cases it is a little bit dangerous if you rely on several packages you need to compile. as I said, on Intel machines all things are clear, but on AMD machines I run into trouble. Maybe this has something to do with the revision change of the gcc compiler suite when we grow up into FreeBSD revision 4.3-RC/STABLE. -- MfG O.
