Perhaps it's a good Idea to create a new target linux-3dnow-elf in the

I'll have a look on it. Since I don't have access to a PII, you will have
to test next version too. sorry -
(On a Cyrix 6x86 MX it works correct)
If any future version of Mesa uses autoconf, the configure script could
test, if it is able to compile this test program successfully. If not,
the target architecture doesn't supports the 3Dnow-commands. Or the
binutils are too old.
Then the test program could run, and if it returns true (and works
correct ;), the -DUSE_3DNOW_ASM could be set.

would be nice.
Next days I'll send you the transformation routines for 4D points.
Possibly some of the normal transforms too.
