Are these flags mutually exclusive?
I know, for example, that if I have a Pentium II that the MMX flag
should apply while the sse and sse2 flags would not.
But what if I have a Pentium III or IV? Would I only use the most recent
optimization or do I need to add all three to take advantage of

Certain program have support for either of these extentions. The
program will most likely use the best one for the job.
They can be mutually exclusive, however, if you use the CFLAG
-mfpmath=sse,387. As far as I know it, it will try to use SSE
instructions for math where possible, in detriment of
