Presumably this only matters for i686 because amd64 implies sse2, but:

The bug here appears to be that emit_vertex() is declared 'sse2' but
vertex_emit_2s is merely always_inline. gcc8 decides that since you said
always_inline you need to have explicitly cloned it for every
permutation of targets. Merely saying inline seems to do the job of
cloning vertex_emit_2s as much as necessary.

So to reiterate: if you say always-inline, it won't, but if you just say
maybe inline, it will. Thanks gcc, that's helpful.
