As far as I understand, Debian 9.0 Stretch will support i386/x86 _architecture_, it just won't support 386/486/586 _processors_. It will work on i686+ CPUs, and some of them (Pentium Pro, II, III, Athlon, Athlon XP) don't support SSE2. >> FreeBSD just comments out this option: >> <https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/audio/flac/files/patch-configure?view=markup#l28> >> >> Maybe it makes s...
