              processor instruction set doesn't support
              everything that was on the machine where sage

Comment:

 I've made no changes to this patch.  Michael has refused to give it a
 positive review, since he claims (in the review above and in person) that
 the flags file is deleted and rewritten whenever the install moves.
 However, he's wrong.   I just read the code and there is exactly *one*
 place that the flags file is written:
 {{{
         16          # Write the flags file if it isn't there.
         17          if not os.path.exists(flags_file):
         18              write_flags_file()
 }}}
 Since flags_file is never deleted, and is only written when the flags_file
 doesn't exist, it can't be deleted or overwritten when the install moves.
 So I don't see what the problem is.

 William
