It's broken, because they disabled MMX for everyone due to one file not
compiling with someone's weird CFLAGS. This makes everything run extremely
poorly on gentoo, but, whatever. I find it pretty funny, since it's the
opposite outcome those using l33t cflags that they don't understand want. =)

Not everything has it, obviously. However, fixing the c implementation of the
code in question would be extremely easy, if anyone wanted to do so.
