I think it's more a case of packagers not yet having perfected their 
compile process for the new release, resulting in improperly built 
packages (i.e. lacking MMX).  If that's what you're concerned about, 
just be patient and the packagers will get things worked out.

I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu (as it sounds like you may be using that on 
at least one of your machines) has worked it out, now, so you may just 
need to upgrade that system.  The only other one I know of that was 
confirmed to be lacking MMX support was SUSE, and I'm sure they'll sort 
it out soon enough.
