Hi,

flash on 64bit uses the LAHF Instruction which is not available on all
older intel CPUs.

My CPU for example has no support.. so flash crashes and iceweasel
crashes to with an "illegal instruction error"

there is a remarkable simple fix.. the attached .c file. just compile
and place it the in the same directory the flash plugin resides.

gcc -fPIC -shared -nostdlib -lc -oflashplugin-lahf-fix.so flashplugin-lahf-fix.c

please provide it the package, there should be no impact on not affected
machines.
