17 Thanks, Thomas, by looking at your emerge info and the first thing I
18 noticed was that your cccache was ~arch (2.4), while mine was stable
19 (2.3). So I upgraded. That didn't change a thing.

21 Since the error kept occurring in conv_sse.c, I tried USE="-sse" even
22 though liboil doesn't have an sse USE flag; unsuprisingly, that didn't
23 work either.
24
25 So then I turned to the only other place that 'sse' appears-- CFLAGS.
26
27 I was able to compile without error after removing the following CFLAGS:
28
29 -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -m3dnow

31 Now as far as I know, all of these should be safe for my AthlonXP, but
32 clearly one or more of them is not (though this is the first problem
33 I've had with them in the two or three weeks I've been using them).
34
35 Anybody want to speculate on which one or ones might have been the problem?
36
37 Oh well, at least it's not a bug.
38
39 Thanks for the help, everybody.
