[Speex-dev] Speex-1.1.7 seems to crash with --enable-sse (on P3/GCC-3.2)..

[Steve Kann]

I tried building speex with SSE, and found that it crashes for me here:

[This is on RH=8.0]:

# libtool gdb ./src/speexenc

If I build without sse, things are OK.

This box is running RH-8 on a PIII (katmai), which seems to support sse:
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca 
cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse

If I compile the same thing on another box with an Athlon CPU instead, 
it seems to work without crashing..

I guess it's not critical in this case, but does anyone know if this is 
an issue with the SSE intrinsics in gcc-3.2, or is it a CPU-support 
issue (or something else?).
