Hi guys,
without checking any mail archives, our forums or wikis for prior art, I would like to know if we have any general hardware support statements. I'm currently staring at a maintenance update that disables SSE2 support on certain software because the CPU doesn't support it. The manufacturing of that CPU stopped in 2004, so I'm not really sure what to think of it. Any thoughts?
openSUSE builds for i586 hence SSE2 does not exist there. If we build for i686 instead we wouldn't need such changes. FWIW I am all for changing to i686 as default 32bit target.
I think you want at least SSE2 support which i686 doesn't provide (in GCC -march terms). SSE2 is introduced with pentium4 while i686 is requivalent to PPro (i586 was Pentium). Richard.
