Andrew and/or Simon,

Please do a make distclean and run configure with only:


./configure --enable-proc-opt 2>&1 | tee $HOME/configure_output.txt

and do:

cat /proc/cpuinfo > $HOME/cpuinfo.txt

and then send me a copy of cpuinfo.txt (please attach the file--don't 
copy/paste), configure_output.txt, and (in the mythtv source directory), 
config.ep.  We should be handling Via Ezra, now, so either your cpuinfo 
has some strangeness in it or there's breakage elsewhere in the script 
that undoes our checks.

Thanks,
Mike
