>Description:
-D__SSE__ and -D__SSE2__ are only added with -march=pentium4,
but -msse or -msse2 ought to be enough since they are enough to generate SSE code when -mfpmath=sse is set.

On the other hand, -march=pentium4 alone (without -mfpmath=sse) defines __SSE__, but uses the i387 for math.

See the thread starting at :
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-05/msg00253.html

In short, there should be a way (macro) to tell the programmer if SSE[2] math is going to be used instead of i387 math (which is not IEEE 754 compliant, and thus requires costly workarounds in some cases).
>How-To-Repeat:
touch foo.c
gcc -v -c -msse -mfpmath=sse foo.c
=> does not define -D__SSE2__
