Gentoo & Cyrix MII: config?

infinity42 · 07-15-2005, 06:51 AM

After successfully doing a stage 1 on my main system, I'm doing a stage 1 gentoo install on an old Cyrix MII system, 128Mb of ram. I was wondering what I should set the CHOST and -march in CFLAGS to. I had a look around, and I'm thinking '-march=pentiumpro'? But I couldn't find anything for the CHOST. I'm thinking maybe i486/i586, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

If anyone has any ideas as to any other optimisations available for a Cyrix MII, I'd be glad to hear them.

Cheers

Well as noone seems to know, I am going to try i586.. will post on how it worked out.

Sorry I completely forgot to post back. Yes, i586 works just fine on a Cyrix MII.
