There's enough stuff slated for 7.10 that would benefit from from ghc having more systematic support for micro arch selection feature flags that making msse2 the default on 32bit systems would miss the point of tst work. I also think that while it would touch more of ghc, such a patch wouldn't be much more complex. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8949#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
