Is the other system an Athlon Model 4 (a.k.a. Thunderbird) or a Mobile
Athlon 4 (a.k.a. Mobile Athlon Model 6)? They're not the same chip. The
former doesn't support SSE, the latter does.
Most people use "Athlon 4" to mean Athlon Model 4, but GCC aids AMD in
confusing the issue by using "athlon-4" in the architecture options to
refer to the Mobile Athlon 4.
