According to folks on the Gentoo boards, winex doesn't always play nice with optimized CFLAGS variables, so they force it to use compatibility-minded optimizations.

I just compiled the CVS version using the ./tools/winexinstall install script that is packaged with winex. Before doing that I hand edited the ./tools/Makefile to insert the following optimization parameters:
-march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -pipe -ffast-math -fthread-jumps -funroll-loops -falign-loops=2

These are pretty aggressive but folks are reporting that it works fine in Quake3. I'll be trying it out in EQ of course.

FWIW, I'm using the CVS 2-0 branch because that's what folks on the Transgaming boards are raving about. <boggles> This is all very new and confusing to me.
