There are quite a few packages that need local patches to work correctly, but at least with gentoo you can apply local patches in a sane way.
make.conf settings:
- Code: Select all
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mcpu=e5500 -mno-altivec"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu"

Hi Marcus,
Many thanks for reporting! Is Gentoo faster than the other Linux distributions? In my point of view it must be faster because of the CFLAGS.
Thanks,
Christian
