Jason Evans cb657e3170 Add configure test to verify SSE2 code compiles. ...

Make sure that emmintrin.h can be #include'd without causing a
compilation error, rather than blindly defining HAVE_SSE2 based on
architecture.  Attempts to force SSE2 compilation on a 32-bit Ubuntu
13.10 system running as a VMware guest resulted in a no-win choice
without any obvious explanation besides toolchain misconfiguration/bug:
- Suffer compilation failure due to __MMX__, __SSE__, and __SSE2__ not
  being defined, even if -mmmx, -msse, and -msse2 are manually
  specified (note that they appear to be enabled by default).
- Manually define __MMX__, __SSE__, and __SSE2__, and suffer compiler
  warnings that they are already automatically defined.  This results in
  successful compilation and execution, but the noise is intolerable.
