I have a centOS 5.3 box with intel Xeon processors. A friend of mine was looking around and said my binaries are being compiled with an AMD target. Doesn't ./configure (like when building apache) automatically detect if you have Intel or AMD and traget the correct platform? How do I tell which target platform the comiler is using definitively?
