Why restricting our work to i586/x86-64?
For some programs, there is a significant boost in using sse/sse2 (for instance the mlt library, povray rendering, etc). I've enabled them explicitly in mandriva some time ago in the x86-64 build, and it should be the default there. If some arch do not comply to the "sse2" demand, then we can discuss this on a "specific basis, but not limit everyone on this... Stef
