Now that we have as baseline SSE2 could be possible to have  #1127352 closed and use SSE for float and double.

It will likely close a lot of problem on the i386 platform but may be done quicly.

Note that due to System V ABI that requires floating‑point return values to be in ST(0), even if the function uses SSE internally, i387 will be still used and code is likely not optimal
but a least it will be less bug on debci.
