Hi!
The port graphics/ffff is currently broken with gcc-42. To unbreak the
port with gcc-42 the compiler options "-msse -msse2 -m3dnow" should be
used. I filed a PR:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117874
But as pav noted not all processors do have those instructions. What
should we do? Since this port is a fast mandelbrot fractal generator
may be just IGNORE on processors without those instructions? Or use
gcc <=34 for all FreeBSD versions (the port is only for i386)?
Something else?
What do you think? Thanks!
WBR
