Hendrik found out about the error fixed in fc7e02f0ff345d5331b7c78f2400668d2c79a8b0 
because an user with a pre-SSE2 CPU reported it.
Having a fate system with an Athlon XP or a Pentium 3 would make finding these bugs 
faster and easier.

I agree however that it's not a priority compared to other things that are also 
missing, like XOP/FMA4, FMA3 and AVX2 capable CPUs.
