This won;'t work on 32-bits unless you use -mstackrealign or
-mincoming-stack-boundary=2.

This is because some years ago gcc started to assume the stack alignment is
16-bytes.   But old applications were still built with 4-byte stack aligment. 
And because Mesa drivers can't get to choose, they must assume the worst, ie. 4
bytes stack alignment.



BTW, wefore we start investing on custom SSE code paths, we really should be
using -mfpmath=sse on Linux 32bits too.  It's recommend by Intel and the
default on MSVC.
