Bug#707321: transcode: SSE and SSE2 are disabled unconditionally

[Rogério Brito]

Package: transcode
Version: 3:1.1.7-4
Severity: normal

Hi.

I was taking a look at transcode's debian/rules file and it contains the
options --disable-see and --disable-sse2 unconditionally.

Given that all amd64 CPUs are required to implement these instruction sets
(and, as a side effect, the x32 arch too), and that GCC defaults to using
these instructions for floating point (instead of those for the x87
coprocessors), there's little advantage to disabling these options on amd64
machines.

Regards,
