   No need that I do it then. You likely have more experience with compilers and   
   coding than I have. Still I offer to have a look into it if there are problems.

   Umm. MMX is - viewed from a distance - something like a   
   math-co-processor, no? So it just speeds things up. It might just take   
   [very little time] longer without MMX. But the end product (the MIDI made   
   from a SID) should be the same otherwise.
