Disassembling the binary shows that it uses AVX opcodes. The "main" part of the build output correctly respects the CPUTYPE override. How are you overriding? As far as I know, the bootstrap-tools are built using NO_CPU_CFLAGS, which disables any cpu-specific CFLAGS. However, this does not work in two cases: 1) If you assign CPUTYPE with = instead of ?= (in make.conf or src.conf) 2) If you set -march= flags in CFLAGS directly With 1), if you specify CPUTYPE= as a variable directly on the make command line, it will effectively disable NO_CPU_CFLAGS. > I suppose I'm doing something wrong here, but what? It must be possible to build for a different CPU of the same family, right? I even tried running a cross build (TARGET=amd64 TARGET_ARCH=amd64), but since the build host _is_ amd64, the Makefiles laughed at me and only did the normal build. > > The command that did not work was: > > MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/slm make CPUTYPE=slm buildworld buildkernel > > I have CPUTYPE?=core-avx2 in make.conf, but that should be irrelevant here. Actually, that *is* relevant for the stages after bootstrap-tools, build-tools and cross-tools. E.g. 4.x and later. Again, this depends on how exactly you are overriding CPUTYPE. -Dimitry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCWpwwRgAKCRCwXqMKLiCW o4HuAJ0UTVLA5D1avjuQ75YCgx+sK1CsJACg2m3rMK5FRYzdmZmGjs7KjpLFiCE= =jNgg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
