So basically older distros are out and older hardware (that has worked
fine for years) is out.
Older distros are not a problem, these older socket-A boxes will run
current linux distros without any problems at all. This is linux, after
all, not winbloze...
But the hardware - this bites, I have four of these socket-A boxes, and
I've run my op4 server on them for years. I can put a current distro on
them, but that won't make up for the missing sse2 instructions.
Such is the price we pay for progress I guess :-)

Alfred stated that part of this round of updates would be dropping
support for older GLIBC versions (and thus older distros), so even if
SteamCMD wasn't dying, HLDS would. Your 2nd issue is likely the same,
maybe Valve is finally compiling with SSE2 enabled - not that I can
see how it would help SteamCMD, but it would be a nice boost for the
engine itself. You might want to look at the flags listed in
/proc/cpuinfo.
