Hi, do you know which flags are being used to compile the loongson2f
packets?  I'm referring to:

-march=loongson2f -mtune=loongson2f -mabi=64 -O3

This can be found by looking at:

/etc/makepkg.conf

If I remember correctly, :-)

Perhaps using loongson2f is not such great idea, since ther will come
a3, and others...  However, using the 64bits ABI might increase
performance for some applications (loongson2f is not the fastest CPU
ever, so any help on performance is good)...

Thanks,

-- 
Javier.
