Error compiling arduino code using 1.6.8 under linux on Athlon XP2800, same as issue #4251

[mrchadwickusa]

I installed 1.6.8 for linux under Puppy Linux Slacko 5.7, on an Athlon XP2800 processor. I have the same instruction error happening as in issue #4251, which was supposedly resolved in the latest releases. Perhaps the information didn't make it to those responsible for compiling the linux versions?

Arduino: 1.6.8 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328 (3.3V, 8 MHz)"

Error compiling for board Arduino Pro or Pro Mini.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Thanks for attending to this! The solution was to compile with GO386=387 option enabled to disallow the use of SSE2 instructions.

Per #4251 (comment), the SSE2 fix was only applied to the Windows build of Arduino IDE 1.6.8.

I suspect this issue has been fixed since the time of this report. @mrchadwickusa do you still have this problem with the latest version of the Arduino IDE?

Closing due to lack of response from @mrchadwickusa.
