I would think the latter, but I've I have to admit that I kind of lost track of Intel's Pentium du jour offerings after the PPro, but I think PII and PIII use i686 cores or at least something closest to i686, so I'd use -mpentiumpro there. I don't pretend to have any idea what's appropriate for the various AMD/Cyrix/IDT/etc processors. The machines where I use -mpentium and -mpentiumpro, respectively, are an actual Intel Pentium and a (dual) Intel Pentium Pro. Yes, there are people out there who don't buy a new machine each quarter. > Also, I have heard conflicting reports as to whether compiling the > kernel/world with optimisations is a good thing.
