+<dd>This is a precompiled assembly file for the i386 architecture

+by  Scott Robert Ladd. The file is provided as precompiled assembly 
+because different versions of gcc can have very different performance, 
+require different options to compile optimal code, and
+it would be impossible to maintain a library of optimal compile options
+for every version of gcc.<br><br></dd>
