SSE2 intrinsics: gcc46 vs. clang contradiction

Hi there,
I've recently encountered a piece of code that uses some SSE2 intrinsics
and builds with gcc46, but not clang: clang can't find _mm_movpi64_epi64(),
while gcc46 defines it in its lib/gcc46/gcc/.../4.6.3/include/emmintrin.h:
extern __inline __m128i __attribute__((__gnu_inline__, __always_inline__, __artificial__))
_mm_movpi64_epi64 (__m64 __A)
{
return _mm_set_epi64 ((__m64)0LL, __A);
}
extern __inline __m128i __attribute__((__gnu_inline__, __always_inline__, __artificial__))
_mm_set_epi64x (long long __q1, long long __q0)
{
return __extension__ (__m128i)(__v2di){ __q0, __q1 };
}
Now, Clang in /usr/include/clang/3.3/emmintrin.h defines similar function,
but without the `e', _mm_movpi64_pi64():
static __inline__ __m128i __attribute__((__always_inline__, __nodebug__))
_mm_movpi64_pi64(__m64 __a)
{
return (__m128i){ (long long)__a, 0 };
}
So what's going on here? Who is right? What adds to confusion, in their
manual [1] Intel spells them differently themselves: first, in the table,
it says:
_mm_movpi64_epi64 Move MOVDQ2Q
^^^^^
Then later, when they describe what it does, it says:
__m128i _mm_movpi64_pi64(__m64 a)
^^^^
Moves the 64 bits of a to the lower 64 bits of the result, zeroing the
upper bits.
Or I'm just being stupid and confusing two different functions?
