I will disable -fsee for being turned on by default at -O3. 

In parallel I will work to see what exactly are the x86 problems. 

In my opinion the current x86 problems are due to some patterns difficult
to figure out on PowerPC, and a few safety tests will suffice to fix then
(i.e. to prevent the optimization to be done in these problematic cases).
