Right. Then you should not be offering USE flag settings for sse/sse2 on
amd64. The only purpose of those flags is to allow us to build, say,
i686 stages on a pentium4 without having to create a whole new arch to
do so.

Even if they didn't, according to remarks on irc supporting sse and
friends on amd64 is a very different task from supporting them on x86.
In which case, have different use flags, and plain old use.mask will
work just fine.

Given that you'll be breaking SRC_URI, IUSE, emerge -pv output, LICENSE
and the cache, and that you'll be tinkering with things that reaaaallly
aren't supposed to be touched, I don't fancy your chances.
