the sorting order for these flags seems to be:

-mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3

see 'grep -R "\-no-sse" /usr/src'. maybe the sorting order should stay
consistent?

also what's the status of clang? will these flags make sure that newer
cpu extension won't be activated? i checked
contrib/llvm/tools/clang/include/clang/Driver/Options.td
and clang has support for:

-m3dnowa
-mssse3
-msse4a
-msse4
-msse4_1
-msse4_2
-maes
-mavx

since these extensions only get set in a hand full of files maybe special
cases for CC == clang can be added.

also maybe you could have a look at the attached patch. i sent this to hackers@
and nobody objected, but nobody wanted to commit the patch unfortunately.

cheers.
