Safe CFLAGS
This article provides a summary of "safe" settings for CFLAGS on Gentoo Linux.
Default CFLAGS can be set in make.conf for Gentoo systems. CFLAGS can also be specified per-package.
For more information see CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in the Gentoo Handbook, and the GCC optimization article. See also the FAQ.
Automatic CPU detection by the compiler
A recommended default choice for CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS is to use -march=native
. This enables auto-detection of the CPU's architecture. A possible entry might look like:
/etc/portage/make.conf
COMMON_FLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native"
CFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
Do not use
-march=native
or -mtune=native
in the CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS variables of make.conf when compiling with distcc. Consult the distcc page about how to set up CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS correctly.To see what GCC detects "native" to be for certain system in particular, the following command can be run:
user $
gcc -v -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null -march=native 2>&1 | grep /cc1 | grep mtune
The internal translation of -march=native
will be visible in the output. In some cases, if the CPU is unknown to GCC's detection model, a suboptimal -mtune=generic
(or even no -mtune
) will be visible. In this case, select relevant -mtune=
from manual. In some other cases there are same to detected -march=
or common -mtune=intel
for (too) modern Intel CPUs.
Also possible suboptimal -march=native
detection - full l2-cache-size
to single CPU thread on multi-core CPUs. Currently it used only for prefetching, but sometimes good choice to fallback to default --param=l2-cache-size=512
or own calculated value - to reduce cache concurrency on high SMP load. But this is in theory and not for all tasks - do nothing if unsure.
Additional information can be found at the GCC optimization page.
Determining CPU type in order to set CFLAGS manually
These tools can report system CPU information that can then be matched a CPU from the list further down this page, to get some suggested CFLAGS that are "safe" for that system.
These settings should be used, especially when unsure which CFLAGS the processor needs.
CPU detection with resolve-march-native
A tool exists to automagically determine -march=native
resolution values: app-misc/resolve-march-native. After installing it, issue:
user $
resolve-march-native
Reporting the CPU type with /proc/cpuinfo
To identify the model of the CPU, take a look inside /proc/cpuinfo for the "cpu family" and "model" numbers like so:
user $
grep -m1 -A3 "vendor_id" /proc/cpuinfo

x86/amd64
Generic psABI levels
If using a distcc farm with slightly different CPUs, it might make more sense to generate code that is just old enough to work for all of them, without bogging down to the really generic code. The psABI microarchitecture levels aims to provide just that for common eras of amd64 CPUs. See Wikipedia:x86-64#Microarchitecture_levels for a description of the levels.

The BAE Systems RAD750 is a radiation hardened variant of the PPC750. The "Espresso" (following the "Gekko" and "Broadway") is also based on the PPC750.
For CPUs for embedded systems such as the Gekko (PPCDBK, used in the Nintendo GameCube) additional CFLAGS (like -meabi
) will be required.
