Yesterday on IRC it was mentioned that there were new details and stage3 binarys for amd64 bulldozer (reference: amd64 bulldozer wiki page). I grabbed the stage 3 for both variants and did a diff. The only appreciable difference was [C|CXX]FLAGS in the make.conf. Seems simple enough... But I also noticed that a Pure64 variant of the bulldozer stage 3 was availble. I cannot forsee any use of a 32bits in my future and putting a stop to 32bit stuff seems ideal to me. I have a hex-core Bulldozer and cpu cycles to burn. Must try... Having already "borked" my system twice and fixed both times without having to re-install, I'm game for an update. A review of the diff I made between generic x86_64 and Pure64 stage3's suggest the manual changes need to be completed: - edit /etc/ld.so.conf and remove references to - /lib32,/usr/lib32,/usr/local/lib32 - edit /etc/portage/make.conf: [C|CXX]FLAGS - "-mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" -> "-march=bdver1 -O2 -pipe" - eselect profile: change "x86-64bit" -> "pure64" - re-emerge world (-e flag) - reboot - manually remove lib32 folders if not already gone. I think that's it... If you don't see me here in awhile you know what happend... ;)
