[PLUG] Fedora, K6-2, and LFS...

A few issues to mention:
1: Linux From Scratch compiles take a long time on a K6-2.
2: Fedora Core 3 is apparently too old to compile binutils-2.20 where I
notice that the 2.6.9 kernel is used.
3: At some point in the Fedora series, the K6-2 CMOV instruction is no
longer supported. This missing instruction is why Centos 5.x is not
an option. Can I get high enough kernel wise before the CMOV
instruction was dropped for LFS 6.6 to work?
4: Is there a way to get compiles to optimize for a K6-2 without
compiling on a K6-2? I have a quad core AMD Phenom II handy.
The highest ancient version of Fedora I have handy is Fedora Core 5.
Beyond that, I have Fedora 9 and Fedora 12. I don't have Fedora 7
and Fedora 11. I try to keep the odd numbered Fedoras handy.
