Yes, I have binutils that support SSE instructions. Where is the 2.2.1 > patch? I found an earlier patch, but it doesn't go in cleanly with 2.2.9 (one > easily fixable reject in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c). This sounds like a different > version of the patch then.
Please ask Ingo Molnar to put a recent version on some accessible placce (ftp or http-site). I found some problems with FPU saving for multithreaded apps, which Ingo fixed, but that happended after the 2.2.1 patch was sent to the list.
I can mail you the latest version, which I got: fx-2.2.5-A4 from 16th of April 1999. It works perfectly here. Ingo certainly has more recent versions.
