I don't see how that could be the case:
RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc,v
..
----------------------------
revision 1.10
date: 2005/03/15 18:43:36; author: obrien; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1
Ensure GCC does not use FP registers in integer code.
I think all we really need is -fno-sse2.
I really don't like cluttering up the compiler invocation,
but this bigger hammer will fix reported problems for now.

An _analysis_ would be someone experiencing a problem clearly showing
SSE[2] instructions in their .s files. Along with figuring out why the
above flags didn't handle the issue. Also telling the results of trying
CPUTYPE={<empty>,i486,pentium,pentium-pro,pentium3m,pentium4,pentium4m}
(or <empty>,i486,pentium,k6,k6-2,athlon,athlon-xp).
