Re: SSE1 support anytime soon?
I noticed that the prerelease binutils announced yesterday continues to
request only 4-byte alignments on my platform, so it is not supporting
SSE. In the past, I tried the -sse snapshot support, and it attempted
to use mmx instructions mixed with x87 instructions, so was broken for
anything less than P4.

no support for SSE1 (Katmai) instructions on the Pentium III. Is this
just a case of new development features not hitting the docs in time, or
is there no current support in GCC 3? And if so, when will it be
introduced into the source, or will it be introduced at all?
