The mplayer ebuilds now require the setting of the "mmxext" USE flag to enable MMX2 during the build. The ecpu_check() function in the ebuild warns about cross-compiling when it can't find all the specified CPU_FLAGS in /proc/cpuinfo. The problem with this approach is Intel cpu's will never report "mmxext" or "mmx2". A quick check of /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/proc.c, shows that "mmxext" is an AMD only flag, whilst there is no flag at all for "mmx2". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On an machine with an intel cpu: 1. USE="mmx mmxext" emerge -v mplayer 2. Actual Results: ... * You have mmxext support enabled but your processor doesn't * Seem to support it! You might be cross compiling or do not have /proc filesystem * enabled. If either is the case, set CROSSCOMPILE to 1 to disable this warning. ... Expected Results: If the ebuild is going to insist on using "mmxext" as the flag to enable mmx2 support, then it should not warn about it not being supported.
