           Summary: Better host support for Via C3
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: org.openembedded.dev
        AssignedTo: openembedded-commits at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: bugs.openembedded.org at rolf.leggewie.biz

The Via C3 processor is a bit of a strange animal.  It is recognized by uname
-m as an i686 and that is what it is.  But it does not support the (optional)
cmov instruction.  gcc uses cmov for i686 optimized code and thus things break
when compiling on a C3 host.

solution: set BUILD_ARCH = "viac3" or BUILD_ARCH = "i586" in local.conf

There are still a lot of rough edges, either way.  And OE could do better in
treating the C3 OOTB.  Phil was suggesting some hackery in config.guess, for
example.
