Yeah, that is the next step.  First I wanted to get all the flags the
same.

Btw, this is not only about "no floating point", as SSE instructions can
be used for other things (memset, memcpy, etc) too.  So "NO_FP" is
misleading in my opinion, but it seems to be what most people want.

For clang, we should add the following, if we want to be very cautious:

-mno_aes -mno_avx -mno_sse4 -mno_sse4_1 -mno_sse4_2 -mno_sse4a -mno_ssse3
