Anyhow, I've been trying to push for the kernel to use either a) -march depending on whatever cpu is specified b) -mtune otherwise (this will generate generic code and then tune for something) heck. if you do nothing you'll get mips1 code. It should really default to mips2 (for things like, say, atomic operations), but no one has made the change and I don't feel strongly enough since I'm using a 64-bit cpu and n32 :) -eric -- Eric Christopher <echristo@redhat.com>
