I have set CPUTYPE=p3 in make.conf. When I compile my kernel I see
-march=pentium3 as I expect. I also see -mno-mmx and -mno-sse are set
which I do not expect given that -march=pentium3 is used. I presume
that I want MMX and SSE since my processor supports it. What options do
I set and where do I set them to get a kernel properly tuned for pentium3?
Thanks,

If i recall correctly, instructions taking advantage of sse, mmx etc.
are purposefully disabled in the kernel via the mentioned options. I can
not at the moment recall why though.
Ordinary userland applications and ports are usually compiled to take
advantage of those instructions if the CPU supports them.
