I would personally preffer -msse-math separately for simple purpose that it makes sense:
-m387-math -msse-math = use both units at once (we need to fix regclass before enabling
it but it already works, just adds
unnecesary stores)
-m3dnow-math -msse-math = similary
so I guess it behaves more like binary switche, even when some combinations are invalid.
