This reminds me: what are the best compiler options for AMD chips (I have a K6-2)? I principally thinking of gcc or egcs. If they have AMD specific options great, otherwise, what type of Intel is it best to pretend to be? pgcc is news to me. I take it this is an AMD targetted compiler. I would have thought AMD support would just be folded into gcc. Is there a reason it's not? (Or is it just slower and safer)?
