detailed cmake output of the configuration run

webkit-gtk-2.24.1, cmake-3.5.2, clang-3.8.0 (Slackware's gcc-5.5.0 is too old), Slackware 14.2 (i686/32bit):

The CMakeOutput.log is attached. Needless to say, my CPU *does* have SSE2 support of course:

> $ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | uniq | xargs -n1 | grep sse
> sse
> sse2
> ssse3
> sse4_1
> sse4_2

Is this problem still present?

[Thomas Zajic]

No, it's not. TBH, I don't even remember having reported this bug. ;-) No problems compiling webkitgtk-2.30.5 with cmake-3.19.6 and llvm/clang-10.0.1 on Slackware 14.2 (i686/32bit). Feel free to close this bug.
