Hello,
I submitted patches for the assembler and for the debugger gdb to
support MMX instructions. The patches were submitted at the end of
March 97 but nobody was interested. They are still sitting around in the
GNATS database (gnu/3157, 97/03/31). I think the patches will still
fit to current, because nobody changed the files since then.

I am willing to mail the patches to you, then you could install them
and use MMX with the assembler and as inline instructions with gcc.
But you need FreeBSD-current. I did the patches for 2.2-Stable too, but
I use current now and cannot test the old patches.

Maybe somebody will install the patches to current ??

Regards
Helmut
