Why do you spread slander like this, then?
I still have an AMD based machine near me, but I am not familiar with
those instructions, so I do not know how to create code that will
actually create them.  I just compiled some test code with
-march=pentiumpro on that machine and it ran OK, it was the "Request"
program in the test subdirectory of the Hermes pixel conversion library.

Which program can I try to use that will actually make pgcc create some
of those instructions?
