The biggest offender is probably perl, but it's easy to correct (patch the makefile), and Mozilla (this one may be a lot harder).
Problem with Mozilla, is that maybe SpiderMonkey's JIT generates SSE2?
If it really relys on sse2 and can't be patched (easily) it just is a i686 or i686+ package. Creating a JIT which does not generate SSE2 Instructions is way to much hassle, given we'd have to maintain it, not upstream. It is really bad not to have such packages on i586, maybe we can find another browser for these (few) cases. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
