I installed the rpm from ftp.suse.com of Mozilla Firefox 1.0 for SuSE 9.2 x86_64. Writing about:buildconfig in the URL box, I noticed that it was compiled without the -march=k8 or the -m64 flags. I then downloaded the src.rpm and compiled it with this flags - no problems at all.
Both -m64 and -march=k8 are default on x86-64 Linux.
I would like to know why it wasn't compiled at first place with these flags, as in the man page of gcc it says that these flags turn on a set of options specific for the AMD64 processors.
It's not correct. -Andi
