When we're compiling/running on a kernel without sse/sse2 support, we have to be careful when using gcc-3.x. gcc-3.x is able to emit sse/sse2 instructions for normal C code when we compile for maximum performance with something like the -march=athlon-xp switch. So, if the kernel does not support the sse/sse2 instruction set extension, we have to tell gcc-3.x to not emit see/sse2 instructions for regular C code, otherwise mplayer might crash with a SIGILL signal.
