Do you know which version of binutils introduced 3dnow support?
RedHat 5.1 has binutils 2.9.1.0.4-3 (as --version is 2.9.1) and
it does not recognize the 3Dnow instructions.
In order to accomodate people who don't have one of the latest/greatest
Linux distributions I think we'll have to keep non-3dnow configs in
the Makefiles (autoconf aside).
