You shouldn't worry about A-step or B0-step processors unless you personally
are still using them because you haven't gotten upgrades yet. I'd like to
eliminate the compiler -ma-step option before gcc3 comes out, which means it
won't be in the next compiler release. Meanwhile, if you must use A-step or
B0-step processors, then you must use the -ma-step compiler option. Otherwise,
I recommend using -mb-step for now, which will support B1 and higher processor
steppings.
The current round of OS releases are coming out with B step kernel support only
by default, and A step support is provided with an optional kernel (TurboLinux)
or not at all (Red Hat).
