CPUTYPE directive options in /etc/make.conf

[Gerard Seibert]

In regards to using the 'CPUTYPE=' directive in the '/etc/make.conf' file, 
would it be advisable to use the CPU type; i.e., p2 for instance rather 
than i686. This is assuming that the processor is detected by FreeBSD as 
an Intel PII, i686 as an example.

Is there an advantage to using the 'p?' designation over the numeric 
(i686) designation?

Thanks!
