In reference to the above bianries, one user has reported errors on a
plain Athlon.  I'm  guessing that the Athlon XP optimisations in GCC 3.2.1
mean that the .exe only works on  an Athlon XP and not on a plain Athlon
or Pentium chip.

I've compiled two test binaries of Lame v3.93.1 that are available at the
following locations:

http://smedley.info/lame-noopt.exe - GCC 3.2.1 - no CPU specific
optimisations (12x  encoding on my machine)
&
http://smedley.info/lame-athlon.exe - GCC 3.2.1 - Athlon (not XP)
optimisations (14.1x  encoding on my machine)

Once again, any feedback is appreciated.

Regards,

Paul.
