After reading that provocative article about how awesome pgcc's pentium optimization is, I naturally had to try it with today's -current. I notice that the kernel compile perks along fairly nicely with `-O -pipe -mpentium' until one tries to compile kern_clock.c, at which point the following define in machine/clock.h is flagged as in error: #define I586_CYCLECTR(x) \ __asm __volatile(".byte 0x0f, 0x31" : "=A" (x)) I've never been all that comfortable with gcc's asm() syntax, seeing as I use it pretty much never, so I'm not sure who's "right" here - us or gcc?
