Re: Debian Packages compiled with PGCC
It depends on how it's been optimized. The FAQ on gcc.ml.org tells me
that using -mcpu will produce code which will run on any Intel CPU,
but will run best on whatever CPU you specify. However, the
-march=cpu option, which turns on optimizations which make use of the
specific instructions available in the specified CPU, breaks
compatibility with any CPU other than the one specified.
