The x86-64 ABI uses SSE registers for floating point arguments, so even a purely scalar application that uses floating point will end up faulting in the SSE state.  This is not the case on IA32, where x87 registers are used (though when compiling for i686, SSE is used by default because register allocation for x87 is a huge pain).

Is it ?  If SSE is used on i686 (AKA >= Pentium Pro) by default,
this is a huge bug.
