But he could scrap that extra 1% speed from using a nonexistant chost...

Only a few of software does not support i786 .
99% can be built with i786.
glibc is in the 1% ....  |

Those two are not the same thing, that they don't fail is not because of an intent to support it but rather a case of nothing bad happening. And since glibc is the base of the system... |

I don't have to pay expensive gas prices. I can just put water in the tank of my car, 99% of my car won't have a problem with it. The remaining 1% is the engine...

holy cow, this one thread makes me cry out of laughing :') I can't even get myself together to say something appropriate.
whatever, the whole thing is nonsense, esp. regarding the following argument:
| Quote: | | need use "CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu emerge glibc" |
... the whole point of chost residing in glibc.
it's like saying "I use chost=i786 except for the sole thing where it matters".
it reminds me of people converting png to jpeg by renaming the extension, and thereafter saying "but if I set it back to jpeg, it works, thus it is ok!".
please, jiangtao, do yourself a favor, stop that nonsense now and spend some time going #1 in NFS:MW (I was #4 in two days, #1 in 2 weeks, even on hard this game has /dev/zero interest. glad it was a gift, where did the good old nfs1&nfs4 spirit went?)

Just imagine the fun bug reports we could get. I am pretty sure bugzilla is littered with a whole bunch of laughable stuff...

I am surprised he didnt have -fvery-fast-math or whatever it was
I dropped ldflags a long time ago, it is just too much work to keep everything happy.

i think its been pointed out already, but what the heck, il repeat it anyway in the hope that maybe someone who previously ignored all advice and tried anyway 
Using a CHOST other than i386 (for older cpu's), i586 (only use this if know you need it) or i686 (anything fairly recent) WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM!
Saying it all works when it errors while compiling probably the most important library on your system (glibc if you didnt know) forcing you to rebuild glibc with a different CHOST quite possibly indicates that what your doing is wrong and broken (and more than likely never existed or was meant to be done!!)
[/rant]
Amusing thread all the same though

There is a more exparamental very-fast-math also...
