Description Armando Di Cianno (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2002-09-06 11:42:59 UTC

on 09/05/02, make.conf states:
# Optimized for G4; "cat /proc/cpuinfo" to get your CPU model number and
# substitute it for the "7400" below (could be "7400", "7450", "7455"):
#
#CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -mcpu=7400 -maltivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char"

However, since I have a 7455, I tried -mcpu=7455 and it was not a recognized cpu
type.  The gcc-3.2 install and regular docs do not mention this flag, but do
mention the others.

You are right, thanks :)

That one slipped by me.  It is updated and will be refeclted in next portage
release.
