I could find a million threads in the forums supporting what Ciaran is |
| 16 |
saying here. We have been told over and over and over until my head |
| 17 |
feels bashed in that MMX/SSE, etc... are NOT TO BE PUT IN CFLAGS!! THAT |

IS WHAT USE FLAGS ARE FOR!!!! |

Every developer who has ever commented on one of these threads has |
| 21 |
always agreed with that. Put it in USE not CLFAGS. |
