Cool! Thanks for that.

I got a manual to read by the looks of it anyway, but can anyone give me the
inside gos on the why it does what it does? (Or something like that.. :) )


This email explains it:

I really hate sounding like an idiot, but if I don't ask I'll never know: The assembler in base is not up-to-date with the latest instruction sets for the cpu, and is causing an error because its telling the cpu to do something it doesn't understand and is going WTF! So the port binutils provides the latest instruction sets for the latest cpus. And ffmpeg and friends use the latest cpu abilities to run as fast as they do? Right or way off? Otherwise I'd have problems building anything, wouldn't I?
