The FreeBSD kernel doesn't use MMX or SSE by explicit design choice. See
sys/conf/kern.mk:
# [ ... ] Explicitly prohibit the use of SSE and other SIMD
# operations inside the kernel itself. These operations are exclusively
# reserved for user applications.
#
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386" && ${CC} != "icc"
CFLAGS+= -mno-align-long-strings -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 \
-mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2
INLINE_LIMIT?= 8000
.endif
Trying to override the default compiler flags to force it to use MMX/SSE is
simply not going to work.
