Description

I tried this code:

#![no_std]

use core::arch::x86_64::*;

pub unsafe fn func() -> __m128i {
    _mm_cvttps_epi32(_mm_setzero_ps())
}

It builds fine on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, but fails on x86_64-unknown-none:

rustc-LLVM ERROR: Do not know how to split the result of this operator!

Adding #[target_feature(enable = "sse2")] or using -C target-feature=+sse2 does not prevent the error.

Research direction

Start with the minimal Rust reproducer in the issue and compare compilation for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu versus x86_64-unknown-none, with and without SSE2 enabled. Trace the LLVM failure for _mm_cvttps_epi32 on the none target; done means the reproducer compiles without the rustc-LLVM error.
