While it is more versatile and performs better then the old code, it is not up to date.
More specific: FFdecsawrapper does not support 2.x or even lower kernels. I might be wrong, but AFAIK no 3.x kernel is compiled with gcc/g++ version 4.1 or lower. So we allways use compiler's 'native' flags.
The script I imported was last updated in 2011. Meaning that a lot of old kernels, built with ancient gcc/g++ versions had to be supported. If old gcc/g++ versions did not know about specific cpu features, the script had to provide proper gcc/g++ compiling flags.
Nowadays we smile when looking at that, like "oh gush, our grandparents had a hard time back then"
So strip all of that and make the script mean and lean again.
Well, title says it all.
