Why is GCC using i486 and no i686

Asked by Tomi Urankar

On my low end notebook I am setting up GENTOO with the help of DISTCC to do the compiles on my desktop computer which has Hardy 32bit ATHLON 6000+

The problem is that Hardy uses:
Target: i486-linux-gnu
and GENTOO uses
Target: i686-linux-gnu

Is there a way to set Hardy to also use i686?

I know about the workaround but it doesn't always work on gentoo. Just now I am having a problem compiling XML parser because DISTCC is complaining the I686-linux-gnu doesn't exist.

In theory what would I have to do to get DARDY on Target: i686-linux-gnu

upon more examination I found that I need to set up a cross compile on UBUNTU so the GENTOO would be using different C libraries for DISTCC.
How do I do that?

Compiled my own GCC into a seperate folder and now it works.
