Donovan, Stuart had this same discussion with me and jsing@ in mid-April where he showed this nifty thing to check for SSE (I hope Stuart doesn't mind posting useful contents of a private email here. It is harmless.) $ arch -s; cpp -dM /dev/null | grep SSE which doesn't have any output on i386, but does on amd64. Please do the same for __ALTIVEC, and post the result so Stuart or other knowledgeable people can give you correct feedback.
