Okay, thank You, thats what I was worrying - as some developers make a
strategic decision here.
 
! I'm pretty sure nothing in our buildfarm is i386 without SSE2 though.

*laugh* no problem with that. There probably wouldn't be any reason
to have such. 
Here I have a couple of good reasons: that machine does for what
other people buy a little plastic box from the shelf called internet 
access router - and besides being stupid, these pieces are full of 
bugs and get hacked (I doubt anybody would bother to write a spectre 
exploit for pentium3, although it should be possible).
And on the other side, this is a server board built for 365/24 
running on regECC mem. A new one of that class would inevitably carry 
quite a big Xeon, and so would do nothing than idle here. I see no 
point in such investment, at least not until Intel comes up with a
really nice new design getting rid of the crap.

Correct.

This will be some work. It includes about six different sql functions
(and some of these are probably also old enough to vote).

You're welcome.
