There is already working, perfectly portable code to detect CPU
capabilities. The code you are modifying is for detecting if the
operating system supports SSE/SSE2, after we already _know_ that the
CPU supports them.
I am not even sure there are any Solaris versions at all that do not
support SSE/SSE2, in which case the check would be quite pointless.
