Not MMX - anything that uses MMX won't ru

No, thats evil and uneccessary. I consider compiling with -O3 or
higher as a bug for non-criti
All this comes out of thin air, but here goes:

optimization that does not hurt (noticeably) the low end
machines. I think this includes Pentium optimizations,
but naturally none of the instruction set extensions.

I think that making it easy to compile for different cpu's shoul
uld JUST mirror the 386 packages if they didnt consider others
worthy, its there choice

I'm a sysadmin who also would be interested in recompiling to optimise for
specific CPUs. As far as I can make out, to do this I have to download
source and edit the debain/rules and/or Makefile of each package to pass the
appropriate optimisation flags to the compiler, then rebuild the package.
