Neither kwm nor me (the two of us who does the heavy lifting) has access to anything other than x86 and x86_64, so it's slightly slow going. > 2. only apply MMX/SSE2 flags in configure on platforms that have MMX and > SSE2 for x11/pixman to avoid errors from configure Why is this needed? Shouldn't ${MACHINE_CPU:Mmmx} and ${MACHINE_CPU:Msse2} be undefined for CPUs (including ppc) that don't have mmx or sse2? This should prevent mmx and sse2 from being used at all. Or am I misunderstanding the issue here? Regards! -- Niclas
