  • Date: 2 Jan 2006 11:04:29 -0000

Hi everybody,

and happy new year.

I've freshly installed a community 2006.0 distro on an "old" K6-2 
processor and updated it with the cooker. 
I ran into severe execution problems concerning the processor 
instruction set.
It seems that a lot of packages are compiled specificaly for processors
of a "higher" class (PII ? PIII ? PIV ?...). These packages provoke
core dumps on illegal instruction errors on this K6-2, and these
problems are always solved by a recompilation of the packages, which can
sometimes be a huge task.

Are 2006.1 packages deliberately optimized for processor of a higher
class that the K6 ? Or is it just that the offending packages uses
too aggressive optimizations during the build process ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
sincerely yours

regards

Eric
PS: example packages that ran into problems :
- ardour (contrib)
- caps ladspa plugins (main)
- liboil (main)
- I suspect that HAL has the same problem, I have to verify this.
