status of athlon64 support ?

[Andrew Atrens]

Hi Folks,

I'm upgrading my work desktop to a Athlon64 3500 - Socket 939 - K8N Neo2
platform.

I'm assuming it should 'just' work in 32 bit mode, but I'm also
curious as to whether or not or how I can build 64 bit applications?

I just tried a simple test with gcc34 -

-- root at atrens: ~ (13:40) --
# cc -O9 -march=athlon64 -o x x.c

-- root at atrens: ~ (13:41) --
# cc -O9 -march=athlon-xp -o x2 x.c

-- root at atrens: ~ (13:41) --
# ls -l x x2
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8778 Nov  3 13:41 x*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8778 Nov  3 13:41 x2*

-- root at atrens: ~ (13:41) --
# cmp x x2

#


I also tried building an athlon64 kernel with no luck -

# make depend
cc -c -O -pipe -march=athlon64 -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline
