We have been told over and over and over until my head feels bashed in that MMX/SSE, etc... are NOT TO BE PUT IN CFLAGS!! THAT IS WHAT USE FLAGS ARE FOR!!!! Every developer who has ever commented on one of these threads has always agreed with that. Put it in USE not CLFAGS. To change this behavior now after all this time would be crazy IMHO. --------------enig6D17F0CBE7D455AB91EC909E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFErWxj8YrbbXH91GsRA0MhAKCF9ei8ShkTyESFYSuB0nPBkO0dUACfbvQd ARm4bJ254GEVDWbig3Grh90= =XDRD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6D17F0CBE7D455AB91EC909E-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
