es. However -mcpu is deprecated, so use -mtune when possible. This was introduced by commit e9d4dce954a60dc23dd1d967766ca2347b780e54 of the old tree (between 2.6.10-rc3 and 2.6.10) by Linus Torvalds, to remove the use of -march, since that could trigger gcc using SSE on its own. But no attention was used about using -mcpu vs. -mtune. And btw, the old 2.6.4 code (for instance) was: cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium2,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUM4) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium4,-march=i686) Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds …@Îa–+x
