I've only seen the "bx is clobbered" error with gcc -fPIC before,
so I assume Darwin does that by default?

I'm appending a patch to make Darwin/x86 imply having SSE2, just
like on x86-64 and in Joel's original patches. This should fix
the failed FP exceptions test and the resulting linkage error.
Let us know if it works so I can push the final Darwin changes
into the HiPE/OTP sources.

The patch is also available in the HiPE snapshot directory
as `patch-otp-0804-8-darwin-x86-sse2-unconditional'.
