Hi, I recently committed a patch: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-06/msg01349.html to allow x86 intrinsics to be called from functions with appropriate target attributes without having to compile the entire file with -mxxx. I have added a release note for this. Please see if this is ok to commit.
Thanks Sri
