I assume this is Windows, compiled with MinGW?

The CPU detection code uses a load of intel syntax inline asm. It's a
waste of time porting it since Q3 does no (runtime) CPU specific
optimisation.

Uh.. maybe. It's just a message :).

Probably not, but again, it's just informational.. it's doing no harm.

That means OpenAL failed to load, which implies you don't have it
installed, or (for whatever reason) your OpenAL lib is inaccesible to
Q3. If OpenAL fails to load ioq3 falls back on the base sound system.
You can see which sound system you're using via the value of s_backend
and/or the output of \s_info.
