Since i am too lazy to build Gentoo Linux from scratch, I decided to re-compile just half of the applications in my base system, which is OpenSuSE 10.3, to utilizing my X2 processor.
List of source to be compiled:
-
kernel
-
git
-
wine
-
qt
-
kde 3
-
xorg
Started by defining custom CFLAGS to environment i add these variable to my .profile,
export CFLAGS="-Wall -g -march=k8-sse3 -msse3 -O2 -pipe"
export CPPFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
export CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
Part I: Linux kernel custom CFLAGS compilation
Below is a patch to customize Linux Makefile so it compile with custom CFLAGS. Since we do not want "-g" (debug flag) we defined the CFLAGS variable directly.

Part II: Git
One advantage of Git was it’s does need installation, you just do "make" and by setting some Git’s environment variable it will work in any place in your system.
First, add Git environment variable to .profile:
export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/home/src/kernel.org/git.git
export GITPERLLIB=${GIT_EXEC_PATH}/perl/blib/lib
export PATH=${GIT_EXEC_PATH}:${PATH}
export MANPATH=${GIT_EXEC_PATH}:${MANPATH}
A patch to make Git’s "Makefile" use CFLAGS from system and create link for man path and gitk for use with GIT_EXEC_PATH.

Part III: Wine
Wine will be installed in it’s own directory, in this example i use "/home/sys/wine".
First set .profile,
WINE_DIR=/home/sys/wine
export PATH=${WINE_DIR}/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WINE_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export MANPATH=${WINE_DIR}/share/man:${MANPATH}
and then compile Wine by configuring prefix point to "/home/sys/wine".
Part IV: Qt
Set .profile,
export QTDIR=/home/sys/qt
export PATH=${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QTDIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export MANPATH=${QTDIR}/doc/man:${MANPATH}
Add CFLAGS value directly to qmake.conf.
You cannot just add $(CFLAGS) there!

Part V : KDE
It’s easy, just follow
BLFS’s guide.
After compiling kde-base -at least- and if you want to use kdm as a login
manager then you should create PAM configuration.
Go to /etc/pam.d, create "kde" and "kdm" file by cloning "xdm" file.
# cd /etc/pam.d # cp xdm kdm # cp xdm kde
Part VI: X.org
It not easy, I would say impossible, because I use an abnormal prefix, which is "/home/sys/xorg". But if you wanna try it, looks here.
