Description Ben Twijnstra 2003-01-16 16:15:31 UTC 
The -malign-functions=4 option in the Linux kernel makefile for Athlon CPUs has
been superseded by the -falign-functions=4 when using GCC 3.2.1-r6 or earlier.
This causes a warning with every kernel source file compiled for the Athlon, and
possibly, the effect of the option being ignored.

A simple fix is to change line 86 of /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile to
reflect this.

Thx,


Ben

Will change...
Comment 2 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-03 19:09:36 UTC 
this has been updated in pfeifer-sources-2.4.20_pre9 and will make it's way into gentoo-sources.
