Package: gcc-4.0 Version: 4.0.1-3 Severity: normal Hi,
gcc-4.0 need -mmmx, -msee, ... flags in order to compil optimized assembler. But this break runtime decision of the optimisation according to the cpu capcibility : you can't mix in the same file generic code, and runtime selected code. Attached an example where -mmmx is needed.
