As I was educating myself on the intricacies of building rpms last night, I was just a little nonplussed to see the following scroll by, in particular the last little bit: CFLAGS='-O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m64 -mtune=nocona' Of course, on through -m64 was as expected. I'm just a bit surprised that it didn't say mtune=k8 since it was definitely building on one ... which begs the question ... is GCC (and hence the entire x86_64 distribution) being built this way? What are the K8 performance implications? I've seen a few things that indicate that Nocona cores running K8 code look pretty bad in some areas compared to optimized code...however, I find nothing to indicate how nocona optimized code runs on the K8.
