asterisk users - Jun 2004 - illegal instruction - on Via board

I have sorted out the problem of compiling the CVS 040608. When launched 
the server die with " illegal instruction" error.

Although the Makefile in asterisk is changed to PROC=i586. The Makefile 
in codecs/ilbc still has a line of reference by using uname -m which 
will come up with i686 architecture. So if you change that line 1 to:

CFLAGS+=-Wall -Werror -fPIC -O3 -march=i586 -funroll-loops
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^
-fomit-frame-pointer
LIB=libilbc.a

So I wonder the line should be -march=$(PROC) or just hardcord to i586 
instead. I am not training in programming, please correct me if I am 
wrong. This should be submited to asterisk so that they can fix the bug too.

It will compile and work correctly.

you have a C3 processor (or eden) which misses a couple instructions 
(CMOV and another one) to be a complete i686.
If you want better speed, you should switch to a nehemiah processor 
which is a complete i686
