x86_64
Intended audience: distribution maintainers.
The 32 bit architecture consists of quite a lot of sub-architectures, namely i386, i586, i686, pentium3 and pentium4. This might mean that you intentionally or unintentionally perform a cross compile.
CPU tweaking
In order to tweak the cpu so you create the exact system you want to create you need to have a look at the following files:
/usr/lib/rpm/macros | this is where the _host_*, _build_* and _target_* variables are set. |
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc | sets parameter for rpm - like which cpu's are compatible |
~/.rpmmacros | can be used to overwrite some of the varibles set in /usr/lib/rpm/macros |
~/.rpmrc | can be used to overwrite some of the varibles set in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc |
/etc/rpm/platform | Contains one line with the default target to created by the rpm build process. |
| gcc -dumpmachine | Show the default target created by the compiler |
../SCRIPTS/Install_Common.sh | Sets the target we which to create by analysing the former two. |
.../SPECS/*.mak | Special Make files for various targets. Most include .../SPECS/Makefile as well |
| .../SPECS/Macros | Contains Demo files used to tweak the rpm settings. |
