actually I disagree on this with arpi, as he thinks sse should always be 
disabled on 2.2.x, but I added kernel checking for this, so if sse support is 
buggy it should detect and disable it, IMO configure should not die with 
2.2.x kernels but only warn about possible problems. Actually until a week 
ago I used 2.2.18 on my workstation and never had problems with sse!
So try removing the die "Er[...] line from configure and see if sse works.
