You should have reported this as a bug, along with specific detail on what packages were failing. When you were rebuilding the userland, did you use different settings? I find this weird since on x86 we build for i386 by default (with i686 being a non-default option). (It's only the instruction scheduling that we do for newer CPUs, knowing that they are more common - but the instruction set is restricted. Our package of John the Ripper is the only exception, and it has runtime fallbacks.) I am only aware of one bug like that in old versions of Owl (in the OpenSSL package): * Sun May 12 2002 Solar Designer <solar-at-owl.openwall.com> - Updated to 0.9.6d. ... - Properly restrict the instruction set in assembly code when building for i386 (don't use bswapl). So the OpenSSL package prior to that date would require at least a 486 even when built for i386. -- Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com> GPG key ID: 5B341F15 fp: B3FB 63F4 D7A3 BCCC 6F6E FC55 A2FC 027C 5B34 1F15 http://www.openwall.com - bringing security into open computing environments
