[SciPy-user] g77 sse2 problem back(?) with fedora 5

[Mark Heslep]

Scipy 4.6 & 4.8 build fails with Fedora 5  _only_ on a Pentium M;  same 
box and  scipy release  built okay in FC4.  It fails in some g77 work 
with the same assembler errors reported back in this thread  
http://scipy.net/pipermail/scipy-user/2003-March/001361.html.  Scipy 
builds correctly on an SMP _Xeon_ CPU box w/ the same Fedora 5 distro.  
I note that the Numpy disutils recognizes the Pentium M vice others.

Fix:  Removing the 'sse2' flag in ..numpy/distutils/fcompiler/gnu.py  
clears the problem.  No doubt there's a way to override compile flags in 
setup.py (?) but my distutils skills are thin.

FYI Fedora 5 is using:

For quick reference the cpuinfo:
