You're absolutely right! I don't know where I got the athlonxp from, but 
that's what I've been using when compiling Myth the last year or so. 
Funny thing it wasn't until the soundtouch fix it started complaining 
(compiled just fine two days ago). I guess it's always been silently 
ignoring that swith or something.
