You should use CPUTYPE and specify your processor. That way GCC will take advantage of your specific processor's capabilities where applicable. If you have Pentium 4, you can add to
/etc/make.conf:
See
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for more processor types.

If your CPU has SSE, recompile your kernel with "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" (FreeBSD-STABLE or kernel patches required).

I have no idea how old some of the mplayer documentation is or if this is even relevant anymore. |
This option is very old. SSE is enabled by default now. There is an option to disable it, however. For mplayer, you can disable dynamic cpu checking in the options and it will compile for your processor only.
