Thanks, that clarifies it.  The gcc documentation is rather misleading
on this point.  The current documentation states that these options
(-mmmx, -msse) enable use of the compiler built-ins, and not that it
allows gcc to generate MMX/SSE code.  I have filed this bug upstream
with gcc and will fix our code.

Unfortunately, the fix is not as simple as removing the -msse.  We need
to isolate the MMX/SSE code in a separate file from the runtime detection
code if we intend to keep using the compiler intrinsics.
