We usually configured "make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" but then set CONFIG_RTE_MACHINE="default" to get something like the "lowest acceptable build" but with that wide CPU copatibility. I found that with DPDK 2.2 this fails with issues like: In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/include/immintrin.h:37:0, from dpdk-2.2.0-rc2/lib/librte_sched/rte_sched.c:56: dpdk-2.2.0-rc2/lib/librte_sched/rte_sched.c: In function ‘grinder_pipe_exists’: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/include/smmintrin.h:67:1: error: inlining failed in call to always_inline ‘_mm_testz_si128’: target specific option mismatch _mm_testz_si128 (__m128i __M, __m128i __V) ^ This is a hard need on newer SSE4.x features which are not given with march=core2. So if nehalem (the next march level which has SSE4.x) is the new minimum let us set this in the default machine config.
