That's the MMX code used for updating the windowed mode display: looks 
like VC4 doesn't understand MMX.

Eventually I want to move all the MSVC asm into external GNU format 
files, which is needed so that a native Mingw32 build can share it. In 
the meantime you can just delete the lines in complains about, and 
everything should be ok as long as you don't try to use windowed modes of 
different color depths to your desktop.
