Description: use _Float16 only when SSE2 is enabled The GCC documentation [1] says: “On x86 targets with SSE2 enabled, GCC supports half-precision (16-bit) floating point via the _Float16 type”. . On non-SSE2 x86 (such as Debian i386 baseline [2]), __FLT16_MAX__ is defined starting with GCC 14 [3], however any non-trivial use of the _Float16 type results in an error: . error: operation not permitted on type ‘_Float16’ without option ‘-msse2’ . which makes some packages fail to build on i386 architecture [4]. .
