After emerging jack-audio-connection-kit-0.99.0 jackd fails with an illegal
instruction:

I noticed that during the build, the -msse and -mfpmath-sse options ar included
in much of the output, and I suspect that this is the source of the problem,
though am not sure. Furthermore, --march=i686 is included, which it definitely
should not be given that I am on an athlon.

For examble:
---
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -I.. -I../config -I.. -I.. -D_REENTRANT
-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -Wall -DREENTRANT -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer
-ffast-math -funroll-loops -fmove-all-movables -march=i686 -mmmx -msse

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge jack-audio-connection-kit 0.99.0 
2. run jackd with appropriate arguments

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
jackd should not have died.

I am runing on an Athlon: the original variety. It does not support sse.

Same problem here. 

May be we shouldn't use --enable-optimize and set sse and mmx manually:
#       myconf="${myconf} --enable-optimize --with-gnu-ld"
        myconf="${myconf} `use_enable sse` `use_enable mmx` --with-gnu-ld"

no auto optimization

Uhm... your processor supports sse and mms.  I'm more concerned with your
CFLAGS... Try this:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon -pipe"

Then slowly raise until it breaks.

I'm pretty sure Dirk's Athlon doesn't support SSE, though it does do MMX. I
have exactly the same problem he does on my Duron system. Jackd works when I
use his modified ebuild. Here's my cpuinfo:

processor       : 0

this is fixed in -r1, thanks... I thought all athlon's supported sse... oh well
=)
