That makes sense.
Should I post a patch that removes OS check and keeps only CPU check?
2.
"configure" build system adds -msse2 option by default. It means that
x86 (32-bit) library won't work on older, non-SSE2 processors. So if
It does that depending on the architecture. Since Debian won't be
supporting
i386 for the next release, I wonder how important that is.
As far as I understand, Debian 9.0 Stretch will support i386/x86
_architecture_, it just won't support 386/486/586 _processors_.
It will work on i686+ CPUs, and some of them (Pentium Pro, II, III,
Athlon, Athlon XP) don't support SSE2.
FreeBSD just comments out this option:
<https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/audio/flac/files/patch-configure?view=markup#l28>
Maybe it makes sense to remove this option?
Without knowing why FreeBSD disabled it, I'd prefer not to change it.
Probably because they want to build libFLAC so that it supports older
processors?
3.
What's the intended meaning of --enable-sse / --disable-sse options?
What should they do/enable/disable?
I really could not tell you without reading configure.ac and the code.
Actually I don't want to know its current meaning, I can figure it out
myself. I want to know what it _should_ do, ideally...
