compiling for i686
 

I want to compile and create some slackware packages for my own.
For which architecture will they be compiled? the architecture of my processor or do I have to add some flags or something?

That is controlled by the -mcpu option. For i686 you want:
-mcpu=i686

See:
man gcc

If I don't at -mcpu=i686 will it automatically compile for i386 when I do ./configure?

I think so. i386 is always what I get when I do compiles and I never specify the target cpu type.

it should auto detect it for you, but just to be safe you should specify it (well, only if your really trying to compile with your system in mind)
