99.99% of people would want their games to run as fast as possible on any
computer. removing optimalisations from a game is just plain STUPID! i can
not even imagine why on earth you would want that. why is is so big a
problem for you to SIMPLY upgrade your binutils? it is free software for
crying out loud.
about maskmovq: you don't HAVE TO assemble it, if it is so damn important
for you. just remove the line "#define ALLEGRO_MMX" from
include/allegro/almngw32.h and rerun 'make' and 'make install'. this will
also remove all MMX optimalisations... but you don't care, right?
