The mplayer ebuild is stated to be "intelligent" about ignoring these

I'd disagree. If it were really simple, Portage would take care of it
automagically for me. It (apparently?) doesn't.
portage does not take care. mplayers build has a cpu feature
autodection.
Different stuff. Really.
Right, that was the question. Thank you for answering it. Sorry if I
was unclear.
Looks like `echo media-video/mplayer mmx mmxext sse sse2 ssse3 3dnow
3dnowext >> /etc/portage/package.use` unless someone else is able to
be more informative.
yeah, except that is bullshit
So? It doesn't matter. Uh, I mean - that's what you just told me.
no pentium can do 3dnow.
I did think that. But with other instructions adopted by the other
manufacturer (eg. Intel adopted the amd64 architecture, I think?) it
seemed odd that a set of instructions would be ignored so long.
Or was there a 3dnow flag in /proc/mtrr? No? Then
don't even touch it. Same for ssse3. This has nothing to do with
sse3. It is
something completly different. And p4 never had this.
That's cool. I'll just keep minimal hardware USE flags in make.conf;
in /etc/portage/package.use I'll tell mplayer to USE everything
(including 3dnow) that it can.
Thanks,
Stroller.
