It's stated in the Asterisk Handbook that if you have an AMD
processor you should use a kernel compiled for i686 with MMX
optimizations

The handbook was writen quite a while back. Is this still true?
I'm running an AMD kernel and compiling zaptel with -march=athlon-xp
and cursory testing at least does not cause smoke and flames type
crash.

What are the issues.  I assume something to do with the zaptel
drivers and switching between MMX and floating point??
Anyone have a pointer to something that explains this  It may be
easy to fix.
