Depends on whether you want reproducibility or accuracy. We prefer the former,
it seems.

No, GCC generates x87 code by default. You need to specify -mfpmath=sse to
convince it to not generate x87 code. (Or, when you build GCC, you need to pass
--with-mfpmath=sse to 'configure'; but I think this is uncommon, at least in the
GNU/Linux world.)
Having Emacs use --with-mfpmath=sse should improve performance a bit on x86. But
more important, it should make floating point more reproducible. If I get the
time I'll look into having 'configure' add it automatically.
