any suggestions?

how about ${NO_CPU_EXT}?

also i was think...if we add something like this to sys/conf/kern.mk:

${NO_CPU_EXT}+=	-mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -msoft-float
.if ${CC:T:Mclang} == "clang"
${NO_CPU_EXT}+=	-mno_sse4 -mno_sse4_1 -mno_sse4_2 -mno_sse4a -mno_ssse3 \
		-mno_aes -mno_avx
.endif

...will this be evaluated once or dynamically? because there are places in
base where gcc gets always used no matter what's in src.conf (bootblocks e.g.).
in those case we don't want to send all the new -mno-* flags to gcc, do we.

cheers.
