While it's true that using more registers introduces more possibilities of running into gcc bugs, I think mmx is used often enough that the risk is minimal (excepting deliberate behavior changes, that is). However, your packages should also not fail to run on MMX-less processors, which from what I can tell is the case here -- so dropping this does indeed seem the best option. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
