Cygwin 32bit: Can't use gcc -mfpmath=sse

[HK]

I've just run across this strange behavior on a recent 32bit installation:

  vega> cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv){
printf("hello world\n");
}
  vega> gcc -mfpmath=sse hello.c
hello.c:1:0: warning: SSE instruction set disabled, using 387 arithmetics
  #include <stdio.h>
  ^

Why is this? I am pretty sure this used to work in the past.  On the 64bit
installtion it works just fine.

For reference:

  vega> gcc -v
