input file is there in original test, I did not add it to the example
I quoted. Relying on unused argument might be useful here, only if
there are no other arguments which appear in same cmdline and are unused
thinks like linker cmds are sometimes added to cflags.

But in short it would be preferable to have same behavior as gcc here
since there are many packages doing this sort of stuff, not that thats
the best way to check for SSE support.
