I hope you realise that I wasn't talking about Debian, in the post you
were replying to (but rather about Stampede).  It's certainly OK if you
were just branching off from that topic, but I wasn't sure.

Indeed, an upcoming version of apt will even take care of getting the
build dependencies for you automatically.  It's getting closer to the
FreeBSD ports system all the time, on the source-code side.

Hmm, I have no idea what effect pgcc compilation would have on Athlons.
For what it's worth, the Stampede betas I tried earlier ran great on my
K6/233.
