Subject: [PATCH] Add an option for the VIA C7 which sets appropriate L1 cache
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 00:17:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45D10391.30806@simon.arlott.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3399 bytes --]
The VIA C7 is a 686 (with TSC) that supports MMX, SSE and SSE2, it also has a cache line length of 64 according to http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/cpu/rmma-via-c7.html. This patch sets gcc to -march=686 and selects the correct cache shift.
