There should be /boot/loader.old just in case your system is broken with
a new loader again.

I use the following on a Mobile Athlon XP, and the loader works just
fine:
CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -mfpmath=sse,387 -msse -m3dnow
COPTFLAGS=-Os -pipe
CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp

And on my Desktop Athlon XP I use the following, which results in a
broken loader:
CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing
COPTFLAGS=-Os -pipe
CPUTYPE=athlon-xp

So what's the non obvious difference (I noticed it just now)? The "?="
instead of "=" in CPUTYPE!

Can the affected people please try if this work-around makes a
difference for them?

Bye,
Alexander.
