} Wrong cpuflags, in particular related to fp ?

     Thanks!  That was it.  Guess it was a pkgsrc issue of sorts.  I
use devel/cpuflags which currently reports:

-----

P4-3679GHz: {67} cpuflags
-mfpmath=sse -msse2 -march=prescott

-----

It used to say "-mfpmath=sse -msse2 -march=pentium4".  My CPU is:

     I don't know the code names well enough to know if this qualifies
as prescott or not (it is a hyperthreading CPU).  Given what the GCC
manpage says and lack of SSE3 in the above, I'm guessing it doesn't.

-----

           prescott
               Improved version of Intel Pentium4 CPU with MMX, SSE, SSE2 and
               SSE3 instruction set support.

-----

     I changed it back to -march=pentium4 and retested.  It worked.
