Clarification request. The obvious choice of architecture/stage tarball for a the Pentium M is 'x86', but clarification whether 'pentium 4' might apply to mobile processors would inspire confidence to newbies choosing a stage tarball. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
pentium4 stages are incorrect for many pentium m's best to say pentium3
imho everyone should know what their processor is compatable with... celerons aren't mentioned either, but from the instruction sets, i know it is ok to use -march=pentium4 i vote wontfix
using march=pentium4 for all celerons is wrong too ... there are celerons based off of the pentium 3 we could add a link to wikipedia's page about pentiums so users can figure it out themselves rather than having to duplicate the different stuff

Too many CPUs; enlisting them would create another maintenance burden afaik. Rather have everyone use x86 and, if they know of the better subarch, use that.
right, which is why we should just create some external links to wikipedia and let the user do the rest ...
Aren't there some more official docs? On the GNU GCC website perhaps?
the gcc tex docs maybe, but those are somewhat hard to understand for many people let alone newbies
(In reply to comment #3) > there are celerons based off of the pentium 3 ...and also of the pentium 2.
