What's involved with getting a secondary arch going? My main desktop at
home is a dual mp athlon and I have a t-bird athlon that I am still using
as a server, but was going to repurpose as a scratch install machine RSN.
I really don't want to replace my destop right now as it is plenty fast
enough.

Is there going to be a way to tell which binaries actually use sse2
instructions, so that the others can be inherited by a secondary arch?
