Good job! :) *hurrai! :)

But are there any reasons why Linux has x86-64-sse2 as make-target and
f.e. OpenBSD does not? I also see that you activated mmx for 64Bit-System
but again just for Linux. :-/

linux-x86-64-sse2        Linux, AMD x86-64, 32-bit with SSE2
linux-x86-64-mmx         Linux, AMD x86-64, 32-bit with MMX
..
..
openbsd-x86-sse2         OpenBSD, x86 with SSE2 (best)
openbsd-x86-mmx          OpenBSD, x86 with MMX
openbsd-x86-any          OpenBSD, x86
openbsd-x86-64           OpenBSD, AMD x86-64
