Anyway, while I'm looking at the testsuite framework mechanism, perhaps someone can determine which options are appropriate to run for various x86 targets and come up with tests to determine whether a particular instruction set is supported on the test hardware so we'll know whether the test should be "run" or "compile" for that set. I'm thinking of something like check_x86_vect_hw_available that takes as argument -mmmx/-msse/-msse2/-msse3/-m3dnow. There might also be a check_* proc that takes those arguments and says whether the option is supported at all for this target (e.g., does x86_64 accept them all?). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19095
