 Yes, thanks .. I've been following those to add them
 to llvm-gcc4 which adds supports SSE4 and blocks from
 Apple gcc.

 The results should be the same as my patch but I
 specifically avoided the version bump to gcc
 4.2.2 (prerelease) to avoid license confusions.
 (I didn't care about the initial score support
 either and I separated the MIPS stuff in a
 different PR)
 
 cheers,
 
 Pedro.
