Yes, I tried and I get some illegal instruction error.

I did have the same kind of problem with Fireworkz, and it was a SSE problem.
But perhaps it's a MMX issue too. I don't know.

That's why I would like to test with some other build options, and check it on 
some old hardware.

I can test it on VIA processors, Duron/Athlon, Pentium II/III, but also 
Vortex86.
I have hundreds of old computers 🙂

Have you tried it?  Guessing from the filename of the toolchain
download, the toolchain targets "686", which is P6/Pentium Pro which
pre-dates the Pentium 3 that introduced SSE.
