[SciPy-dev] Distutils: incorrect inference of cpu type on Ubuntu Intrepid

[anand.prabhakar.patil]

Hi all,

I just installed numpy from the debian packages on a virtual machine in a
'cloud' to do some multiprocessing. The numpy version is 1.1.1, but the
problem (I think) would happen with 1.3.0.dev6034 as well.

While trying to build a package that incorporates Fortran sources, I ran
into the following:

gfortran:f77: mbgw/st_cov_fun/fst_cov_fun.f
f951: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
f951: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
f951: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
f951: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
error: Command "/usr/bin/gfortran -Wall -ffixed-form -fno-second-underscore
-fPIC -O3 -funroll-loops -march=k6-2 -mmmx -msse2 -msse -msse3
-Ibuild/src.linux-x86_64-2.5
-I/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include
-I/usr/include/python2.5 -c -c mbgw/st_cov_fun/fst_cov_fun.f -o
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/mbgw/st_cov_fun/fst_cov_fun.o" failed with exit
status 1

The problem seems to be the -march=k6-2 flag, which is not right because the
chip is a 64-bit Opteron. The flag was set because the method
numpy.distutils.cpuinfo.cpu._is_AthlonK6_2 returned True:

def _is_AthlonK6_2(self):
    return self._is_AMD() and self.info[0]['model'] == '2'

def _is_AMD(self):
    return self.info[0]['vendor_id']=='AuthenticAMD'

which is understandable given the machine's /proc/cpuinfo, which follows...
but the chip is a 64-bit Opteron, as I said. Should I file a bug report?

Thanks,
Anand
