This was added because previously if I had two declarations of foo like this:

void foo ();
void foo __target__(("sse4.2")));

int main ()
{
  foo ();
}

void foo ()
{
}

__target__(("sse4.2")));
void foo ()
{
}


The call to foo in main will be treated like 2 different versions of foo exist.

However with -msse4.2 on the command-line, the target attribute will be
stripped off the second declaration which makes foo no longer multi-versioned
when the call to foo is processed. The call to foo without -msse4.2 is
multi-versioned and with -msse4.2 is not. I wanted to avoid this behaviour.


Consider complete garbage in target attribute arguments,
