--- Comment #7 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
SSE2 is not anywhere "relatively new", it's almost 20 years old.

GCC makes it easy for portable code to perform unaligned accesses and have them
well-optimized without any arch-specific ifdeffery (nor undefined behavior):
simply use memcpy, fixed-size memcpy calls are recognized and transformed to
unaligned loads/stores internally.
