If your x86-64 target is Win64, using -CfSSE2/-CfSSE3 will not result in 
exactly the same fpu instructions on i386 and x86-64 under all circumstances. 
The reason is that it is impossible to disable 80 bit extended floating point 
support in the i386 version of the compiler (and impossible to enable it in 
FPC/Win64). As a result:
a) constants that cannot be represented exactly using double precision will 
still be parsed as extended precision by the compiler (and as a result, other 
terms in the same expression will be promoted along with it)
b) several run time library functions and constants are declared using the most 
precise real type type available on the platform (i.e., extended on i386 and 
double on Win64)
