 > From what I can see of the geode-gcc-4.2.patch on gnashdev.org, it does
 not do anything for the two new geode-specific 3dnow instructions, which
 include the very useful inverse sqrt.  Shall I take a look to see if it's
 in gcc 4.3 at all, and try my hand at pulling it into the patch, or adding
 a peephole optimization for it if it isn't supported in gcc yet?

 Note that the Geode also includes partial support for SSE1 and SSE2. Being
 partial, you can't just enable gcc's code generation for those features.
