Well, we can't assume that, since FreeBSD runs > on 386s and up. Well, if you want everything to go faster, you optimize for the hardware you're actually gonna run on. Now, it would be quite possible too add ifdefs so that you would add -DOPTIMIZE_FOR_PENTIUM to CFLAGS in make.conf and then make world. And libc would be compiled with that optimization, etc. /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
