It is built for your CPU, by the looks of things. A Pentium III/PIII-Celeron 
is an x86 CPU with MMX, MMX2 and SSE. The configure script would have added 
appropriate CFLAGS for the compiler (eg. -march=pentium3 if your gcc supports 
it otherwise -march=i686) in addition to selecting appropriate SIMD-optimised 
codepaths.
