Of course, updating the > XFree86 works like a charm built with -march=athlon-xp . I do know that compiling XFree86 with a June 2002 GCC 3.1.1 prerelease works fine on AMD x86-64 running SuSE with -O2 and -march specifying the Hammer. > > system compiler would make bug reports from -CURRENT users even more useful. > Indeed. IMHO going to 3.2 is the best we could do. IMO going to 3.3 would be much better -- we can actually get our needs better addressed as the compiler is still in development, but about to head into code slush. We cannot affect GCC 3.2.1 too much due to it being on a release branch, and point release.
