i tried adding the following to CFLAGS to prevent clang from using any SSE*
instructions, but it seems that doesn't work:

CFLAGS=-mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-3dnow -mno-ssse3 returned:

fatal error: error in backend: SSE register return with SSE disabled
*** Error code 1

in lib/libcompiler_rt.
