That bug report looks like the outcome of the "addition", not the reason for it. Did you mean https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034195 ? The interactions in both bugs look very weird to me, especially when the same person proposes compiling software with SSE4.1 and then complains that it fails on older hardware, and the reason for closing the newer bug also looks weird to me. I think it should be reopened and bumped to RC. -- WBR, wRAR
