Description Kevin N. Carpenter 2002-12-25 21:26:38 UTC

Just pulled the 2.4.19-r10 kernel distribution and attempted to build a kernel.
 Apparently the "-mmmx" option passed to GCC isn't supported by Gentoo's 1.2 GCC
2.95 compiler.

This is my sole Gentoo 1.2 system, everything else is 1.4_rc1 - I keep it around
to to compare things.

This is a Pentium II based server.  "cat /proc/cpuinfo" shows the mmx flag as
set, so the CPU supports it, but gcc 2.95 doesn't.

does -r9 work?  -r10 is permanently unstable, also lolo-sources-2.4.20.1_rc3 or
later will work fine (and the upcoming gentoo-sources-2.4.20 as well)

Comment 2 Kevin N. Carpenter 2003-01-09 19:38:32 UTC

I'd be happy to test if you could give me the syntax to force -r9 to install. 
Otherwise I can wait for 2.4.20.

Thanks,

Kevin C.
