Thanks for the pointer. This is the least of our problems at the moment though. I've changed it in the p4 tree, but I half suspect that it will blow things up. Just because it has sse and sse2, it isn't programmed the same way as it is in i386 platforms. ie: any sse or sse2 code will not work. This is probably a flaw in the bsd.cpu.mk mechanism itself because it has no way to express this. Just like the ia64 stuff has sse, but it too is incompatable with i386 sse.
