It is little bit sick, but what about implying -mfpmath=sse when
-ftree-vectorize is used and SSE is available?

The reason why we don't default to fpmath=sse is because the extra precision is
told to be part of i386 ABI, with vectorization we are not going to maintain
this "feature" anyway.  

I can easily imagine that many users will try -ftree-vectorize and forget about
-mfpmath...
