10 Then the only fail-safe way to do it is to print a big red warning and
11 pause for 10 seconds during ebuild emerge. Given the valgrind-3.0.0
12 keywords ( -* ~amd64 ~ppc ~x86 ) I guess most people on those arches
13 have SSE anyway. AFAIK all amd64's have SSE, I don't know about ppc, and
14 I doubt anyone is running Gentoo on i686. You should expect a few bugs
15 about it though.
