Hello everyone, Firstly, let me apologise if this message is not in the correct area, but I coulden't find a specific kernel section, so I thought this might be the best place. On my amd64 platform, I currently have built the world with -msse3 extensions enabled in my CFLAGS within /etc/make.conf. (I know the benefits of this are debatable, but I wanted to try and see what happened) I noticed that while the kernel was building (after the world build), there are many options sent that disable the mmx, sse and 3dnow extensions, but they only seem to override up to sse2.. Should there be a -mno-sse3 inserted in there as well? As it stands, I am running on a kernel built with sse3 extensions presumably enabled and nothing has gone bang yet, but that could be just a matter of time with the right load and applications running ;> Ta Ken
