Yes, I think you're right.
Perhaps the SSE2 support should be turned into an --enable-sse2 configure
option, that's disabled by default? One problem with this is that I don't
know how to enable SSE2 instructions for compilers other than gcc, so the option would only apply to gcc-based systems.
Disabling SSE2 would just mean that all x86/gcc systems would end up using
the inline assembler to get and set the control word; so we'd still get
short float repr everywhere we did before.
