 My desktop (still an athlon tbird) doesn't support SSE, so trying to
 use the z~ external causes puredata to die with SIGILL on the emitted
 instruction cvttss2si. This means that in the x86 build, anything
 older than a Athlon XP or a Pentium 3 can't use the zexy externals.

thanks for your bug-report.
this is a known issue and actually fixed in the current git-repository
for the debian packaging of pd-zexy.
unfortunately it has not been uploaded to debian yet.

@pkg-multimedia DDs: could someone of you upload the package, please?
@jonas: it seems like you already re-generated the changelog for the
2.2.3-2 package; did you simply forget to upload the package then?

 
 In the autotools configure.ac there's AC_CHECK_CFLAGS([-mfpmath=sse
 -msse]) but I'm failing at figuring out how to regenerate the
 configure script from it.

note before you continue to read: this is obviously a hack, to make it
work on your machine; hopefully the debian package will be fixed soon
enough.

so: the line in the configure.ac tells configure to check whether your
compiler supports compiling with the given flags. chances are high that
your compiler does, even though your hardware cannot run the so-produced
binaries.
therefore you really have to remove the line from configure.ac first.
then run
$ autoconf
to regenerate a new configure.
