Someone please tell me if I'm wrong, because that seems like a pretty hackish way to do things.
Yeah, you're wrong. Please read what I posted, especially: "By default, after installing this package, the compilers will behave normally. However, if the environment variable DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=pentium is set, they will enter pentium optimized compile mode." But yeah, it's still somewhat of a hack, but just installing the package does not change it for ALL builds. Actually, the name of this package is somewhat wrong, in that you can use it to switch optimization settings for other systems (i.e. for any of the 11 supported architectures)... -- Josh Huber
