So you're providing a (scons) PKGBUILD for x86_64 with '-march=i686' and
'-mtune=generic' compile flags?

Note that all you need (no sedding) for the NaN method is, not reviewed:
export NAN_NO_PLUGIN=true
export NAN_PYTHON_VERSION=2.6
export INTERNATIONAL=true
export WITH_BF_OPENMP=true
export NAN_USE_FFMPEG_CONFIG=true
export NAN_ODE=/usr
export WITH_VERSE=true
export NAN_DEBUG=-O
and a patch (assuming we DO want sound):
- NAN_SND_LIBS += $(NAN_OPENAL)/lib/libopenal.a
+ NAN_SND_LIBS += -lopenal
in source/Makefile
