This is normal, they changed the way these flags are handled because not all
64bit cpu's support the same instructions. As you can see in the mplayer
package, mmx,sse and sse2 are still masked because they supported on all
64bit cpu's. Those are always enabled !
The remaining flags you can set if your cpu supports them.
$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
Thanks Harm. I'll look into it.
Are you suggesting that ALL flags can now be enabled if the processor
supports the flag? That would be nice and similar to the way I've
worked with my 32-bit boxes.
It seemed to me that 18 months ago when I built this machine all these
flags were turned off since they caused problems with most packages. I
guess that is getting fixed now so that's cool. Great to see some
progress in this area.
Cheers,
Mark
