OK.  But later Matt McCormick replied with a patch that essentially changes 
__GCCXML__ to CABLE_CONFIGURATION which is defined during the build.  That 
change seems to imply that the workaround is still required.  (?)

OK.  So I'm well out of my depth with SSE, but: since the build is targeting 
i386, I think there would not be SSE support.  Another data point is that the 
cmake configuration step outputs:

-- Performing Test VXL_HAS_SSE2_HARDWARE_SUPPORT
-- Performing Try-Run Test VXL_HAS_SSE2_HARDWARE_SUPPORT - Test Compilation 
Failed
-- Performing Test VXL_SSE2_HARDWARE_SUPPORT_POSSIBLE
-- Performing Test VXL_SSE2_HARDWARE_SUPPORT_POSSIBLE - Success

... and ...

-- Performing Test ITK_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_SSE2_64
-- Performing Test ITK_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_SSE2_64 - Failed
-- Performing Test ITK_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_SSE2_32
-- Performing Test ITK_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_SSE2_32 - Failed
-- Performing Test ITK_COMPILER_DOES_NOT_NEED_MSSE2_FLAG
-- Performing Test ITK_COMPILER_DOES_NOT_NEED_MSSE2_FLAG - Failed

I'll take a closer look at these tonight.
