Hello John,
Even if I don't gain anything, I just don't want my binaries to run on a bloody 386 SX. Period.What on earth do you hope to gain?
gcc + glibc + kernel takes a mere 3 hours on my system to compile (2.66 GHz P4 OCed to 3.0, monolithic kernel). The list of RPM packages I run is aroung 200. So the whole process does not take more than 10-12 hours on my machine to complete.It will takes days, maybe weeks on a single machine.
Does this mean no one is using a P4 or are they moving their binaries between their P4 systems and 386 SX'es? Linux distros work almost on anything and I doubt this is suitable for the newer generation of CPUs.I don't know of any such documentation, it's years since I last saw someone suggest it.
2: Rebuild gcc and glibc.
Yes, this is the first I am doing.
It is entirely possible that something will pick up stuff it didn't build. I went throught this exercise a while ago, and there was one package that would not build unless it was already installed.
All dependencies are find and everything builds good here.
The result of this process will not be something you can call "Red Hat Linux."
It really does not matter.
The system looks stable and performs real fast. Never experienced any trouble. However, I need 2nd opinion in case I missed something.I don't think it will be as reliable as Red Hat Linux either, because you will be exercising some of the very newest features of gcc.
Thank you for your time!
Jimmy
