[Slackbuilds-users] kyotocabinet CFLAGS

[Thomas Morper]

Hello there,

I've noticed that kyotocabinet's "configure" adds "-march=native" to the 
CFLAGS in the Makefile. According to the gcc man page, when built on very 
modern CPU (e.g. i7 Haswell), the resulting package might not work on a 
less capable CPU (e.g. Pentium-D).

I've unknowingly been running a "native" kyotocabinet for some time 
without encountering any problems, yet I've decided to rebuild the package 
with a minor modification to get a "generic" library (see attached patch).
