    About CHOST and -march and -mcpu settings, and how they behave with distcc...

    I have a Pentium 3, a couple Pentium 4s, a Celeron (P3 based), and an old P200-mmx on this network. I have gentoo on all of them (via coLinux on a couple). All have the latest GCC and glibc..

    Now, to make sure everything can compile with each other happily using distcc..

    I have CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" set on all but the P200-mmx, which is an i586.. Now, if I rebuild that system with the 686 host, would it work?

    Would I need a full cross-compiling environment for i586 to be able to build for the p200-mmx.. That's kind of the point of distcc, since emerge $ANYTHING takes months to complete on that box.

    And does the fact that I have -mcpu=pentium4 (or pentium3, or pentium-mmx) set differently on different machines affect distcc? I wouldn't think it would since those paramaters are sent to the various gcc clients to deal with. What about -march? I'm using -mcpu because I want apps to be compatible - ie; reuse the resulting packages, but would -march make a big difference?

    Whats up with all that? Documentation is sketchy.

    Yeah, watching F911 will get you in the right frame of mind to watch a fantasy story.

    Yea, no kidding. I guess if I watched over an hour and half of footage about all the fantastical nonsense Bush and his administration are always spitting, I'd become inured to the unrealistic world of comic books too.

    Bush is a RINO. Hate him too. Arnold is a failure as a "conservative." Dont even try to polarize my thinking there scruffy.

    You think that just because I dont purchase Moore's bullshit means you can go on an ad-hominem tirade. You see, you can only try and deconstruct those who dont agree with you, assault them with personal attacks and lies and conjecture in an attempt to lead the public to you line of thinking. This isnt a scientific endeavor, its one of social engineering. See, the thing is, is that more and more people are seeing through you and others liek yourself. You have no high moral ground, and you are equally "culpable" for being relatively successful along with all westerners. They dont dice people up into groups, hate to break it to you.

    Parts of what follows below were actually painful to write. However, because of the ongoing misinformation campaigns launched by Mike Moore's Little Minion and his allies, I feel it is my duty to write this. The nitty-gritty of what I'm about to write is this: Mike Moore's Little Minion claims that everyone with a different set of beliefs from his is going to get a one-way ticket to Hell. I would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another jackbooted attempt to put nefarious thoughts in our children's minds. Let me quote to you from the words of my attorney: "It's ludicrous to believe that law and order can be maintained by letting Mike Moore's Little Minion's comrades put the prisoners in charge of running the prison." He claims that flippant, grumpy simpletons and asinine vandals should rule this country. That claim is preposterous and, to use Mike Moore's Little Minion's own language, overtly self-pitying. No history can justify it.

    In all fairness, Mike Moore's Little Minion's intrusive, rabid maneuvers sue people at random. Mike Moore's Little Minion then blames us for that. Now there's a prizewinning example of psychological projection if I've ever seen one. Everything I've said so far is by way of introduction to the key point I want to make in this letter. My key point is that it is more than a purely historical question to ask, "How did his reign of terror start?" or even the more urgent question, "How might it end?". No, we must ask, "When he looks in the mirror in the morning, does Mike Moore's Little Minion see more than the same, directionless, boisterous face that all ornery, prurient lummoxes share?" That is, what will be the outcome of Mike Moore's Little Minion's quest for world hegemony? One might as well ask, "Why doesn't Mike Moore's Little Minion point a critical finger at himself for a change?" Mike Moore's Little Minion doesn't want you to know the answer to that question; he wants to ensure you don't demonstrate conclusively that my number one priority is to free people from the spell of denominationalism that Mike Moore's Little Minion has cast over them. For the purpose of this discussion, let's say that his ploys violate the rational, enlightened claims of their own enunciatory modality. An equal but opposite observation is that to get even the simplest message into the consciousness of delusional fogeys, it has to be repeated at least 50 times. Now, I don't want to insult your intelligence by telling you the following 50 times, but "Mike Moore's Little Minion" has now become part of my vocabulary. Whenever I see someone scorn and abjure reason, I tell him or her to stop "Mike Moore's Little Minion-ing". Mike Moore's Little Minion is totally brusque. We all are, to some extent, but he sets the curve.

    This moral issue will eventually be rendered academic by the fact that if my memory serves me correctly, his prognoses manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: depressurize the frail vessel of human hopes. Phase two: increase alienation and delinquency among our young people. To inform you of the grounds upon which I base my viewpoints, I offer the following. I don't believe that Mike Moore's Little Minion's tracts provide a liberating insight into life, the universe, and everything. So when h

    Calm down, my friend. No-one is saying that Mike Moore is some kind of truth-oozing prophet who can never tell a lie. I certainly don't accept everything he says at face value, and I'm sure most right-thinking people don't. But nore do I take Fox News at face value. Get the picture? You can't let anyone else do the thinking for you. That's what has gotten us so far up shit creek without our paddles.

    Your mostly right, it's flamebait and mostly offtopic.
    Still he did feed a troll, and a bunch of angry reaction is somewhat likely for posting an off-topic opinion.
    Of course both your post and mine are technically off topic, but it's difficult to discuss mods in-context otherwise.
    The mod for 'I'm punishing you because I dissagree' is actually over-rated as it currently is immune to meta-moderation and thus a no-risk method of drive-by-modderation.

    I see your point. I have been around here long enough to not feed trolls, but it still bugs me that people apparently moderate with about 2 seconds of thought sometimes. I think that the 'troll' mod needs to be used a little more sparingly.

    and yes, it is technically correct (the best *kind* of correct!) that this is all OT, but it's the best way to bring modding 'issues' to people's attention.

    With a twinkle in his eye and a skip in his step, RMS slammed his sky-blue Chevette's rusted-out car door and turned on heel toward the MIT Zoo entrance. Today was a Sunday, and RMS had decided the daily stresses of Free Software, the GPL, and his "crazy drug habits" could go away for just one afternoon while he enjoyed the zoo...

    "That'll be twenty-five dollars, sir," the lady at the admission booth said glumly. She looked at RMS expectantly.

    "I was expecting this zoo to be Free," RMS stated loudly, eyes darting around to gauge onlookers' reactions. There was none. RMS's capital F had went unnoticed. "Can you ensure me that this money will not help fund--"

    The admissions lady cut him off. "Twenty-five dollars, or twenty bucks with a Mr. Pibb can," the lady cut in.

    With a grumble and shake of his beard, RMS handed over twenty five of his hard-earned dollars. Considering that the GPL works to unemploy programmers, one must wonder where this money came from...

    By evening, RMS found himself in front of the penguin exhibit. He felt himself start to sweat, which would have been no surprise-- his thick, full, grizzly beard must be worth a thousand down comforters-- except that he was wearing only a pair of nylon biking shorts and a travel pack around his waist. He stared at his hands. What was wrong?

    "AWWWK!" a nearby bird offered. RMS wheeled in the direction the screech had come from. He was met with the steely, unfeeling stares of a penguin. "AWK! Ooooh God, the penguin said AWK... lord, lord lord, it's LINUX. THE PENGUIN IS TUX!" RMS blurted out. He felt dizzy, and cold sweat now washed over his brittle, hairy chest. He looked this way and that. From nearby a bird again squawked.

    "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK"

    RMS ran as fast as his atrophied hippy-programmer legs could carry him, right thru a gate and into an exhibit. He realized what he had done, and before he could turn around, he heard a low, ominous sound. Like the Devil's riding mower. "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" RMS gasped.

    MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    He was standing in the Gnu section, and it seemed these bull yaks were in rut and ready to mate with the first hairy thing with a hole in its center they found. Bad luck for RMS and his beard. Just then he felt cloven hooves push him down...
