Glibc is a relatively special case, where the compiler optimizations used to compile it can actually have a significant effect across the system, even if the other items are not compiled with the same set of optimizations. So, to sum it up simply: On 32-bit x86 === Pick One: * i586 (good) * i686 (better, but only if your hardware supports i686) On 64-bit x86_64 === Pick one: * x86_64 (only option) On a Multilib system (32bit and 64bit libs installed side by side) === * Pick One from the 32-bit x86 list (i586 or i686) * Pick One from the 64-bit x86_64 list (x86_64) This gets even more complicated on sparc, be glad you're on x86! :) ~spot -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
