The GCC 4.9 -march option supports the intel code names for processors, for example -march=silvermont, -march=broadwell. The RTE_MACHINE config flag can be used to pass code name to the compiler as -march flag. Also old gcc versions compatibility code for the intel platform is removed from mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.toolchain-compat.mkDo you mean to not support GCC < 4.9 ?
Yes.
