But now all C code is compiled with -msse2 and it won't work on older CPUs.
Isn't it better to compile only necessary files with this flag?

Hmm, compiling just one or two flags with these flags is somewhat difficult.

I'll see if I can think of some way around this.

Cheers,

Currently my intrinsic code is split into 5 files:

lpc_intrin_sse.c
lpc_intrin_sse2.c
lpc_intrin_sse41.c
stream_encoder_intrin_sse2.c
stream_encoder_intrin_ssse3.c

That would be great.
