-msse producing sse2 instructions


Hi there,

I'm having problems compiling with the -msse option and cygwin's latest gcc
(v3.1.1), it seems to be producing SSE2 instructions which my Athlon 4 is
faithfully reporting as illegal instructions.  The athlon 4 should support
standard SSE but not SSE2 instructions.

The current illegal instruction (one of a few others I've had but forgotten
to record) is:

cvttss2si 0xffffffd8(%ebp),%eax

Removing the -msse option completely of course clears up the problem but I
want to use the builtins and the 128 bit vector types available with -msse.

Is there any way as a temporary solution to disable sse code generation but
still allow use of the builtins?

Regards
