New comment by tornaria on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/51333#issuecomment-2241325675 Comment: Should i686-musl profile be modified similarly? Using `-fmpmath=sse` could save some pain with floats on i686. Some packages set `-ffloat-store` instead, it may be possible to remove that as well. OTOH, it seems packages using sse on i686 are not that many, and afaik no core package uses sse on i686. This means void linux possibly works just fine without sse, besides a few specific (non-essential) packages needing sse.
