Very cool, thanks!  I'd not see that.

(Hmm... I've been looking forward to upgrading to Opteron 285s, from my
current 242s.  That'd give me some compile-time speed.  I could decide to
do this tho and take it right back away. =8^(  Actually probably not as I
don't do closed source and most open source stuff compiles in 64-bit
native, so there's little reason to do 32-bit at all, here, except to keep
from having to use the grub binary package.)
