I can, but I think we should simply %if 0 the SSE2 stuff in gmp.spec
until we update glibc.  It is useless without newer glibc (or rather,
dynamic linker).

Owl with our current glibc:

user@owl:~ $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib LD_DEBUG=libs /bin/echo 2>&1 | fgrep search
      6089:     find library=libc.so.6 [0]; searching
      6089:      search path=/lib/tls/i686:/lib/tls:/lib/i686:/lib             (system search path)

Fedora 14 (32-bit OpenVZ container on Owl-current for x86_64):

[user@...1432 ~]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib LD_DEBUG=libs /bin/echo 2>&1 | fgrep search
      1175:     find library=libc.so.6 [0]; searching
      1175:      search path=/lib/tls/i686/sse2:/lib/tls/i686:/lib/tls/sse2:/lib/tls:/lib/i686/sse2:/lib/i686:/lib/sse2:/lib            (system search path)
