If you run 32-bit system on 64-bit machine, it should not slow things 
down so great.
Look first, if assembler files are compiled, it is possible, that a 
combination of
AMD K8 and IA-32bit confuses configure script. So configure disables any 
mmxes,
in order to keep xvid working on such "strange" machine.
If you want to hack - try to make configure think you have e.g. Athlon 
CPU. Just overwrite
CPU checks with constants you may find there.
But I really really recommend to upgrade to a 64-bit system.
