produces binary code with SSE4 instructions, which is not compatible<br>

with llvm 3.6.2 this bug doesn't occur because pentium dual core was<br>

this faulty commit has deleted a crucial test about SSE4 for CPU family<br>
6 model 23 :<br>
<br>
return HasSSE41 ? "penryn" : "core2";<br>
<br>
the solution is simply to re-add this test for CPU family 6 model 23,<br>
here is the patch :<br>
