Yes, they should. And while we're at it, we should stop naming them differently. (sse4_1 vs sse41) Also, since SSE4 isn't a thing (there's SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and SSE4a) we shouldn't have /any/ USE=sse4 in the tree. And we should never set up the masks like this: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470220
