@ -666,16 +666,13 @@ For example, you should not set <code>$GOHOSTARCH</code> to
<code>arm</code> on an x86 system.
</p>
<li><code>$GO386</code> (for <code>386</code> only, default is auto-detected
if built on either <code>386</code> or <code>amd64</code>, <code>387</code> otherwise)
<li><code>$GO386</code> (for <code>386</code> only, defaults to <code>sse2</code>)
<p>
This controls the code generated by gc to use either the 387 floating-point unit
(set to <code>387</code>) or SSE2 instructions (set to <code>sse2</code>) for
floating point computations.
This variable controls how gc implements floating point computations.
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>GO386=387</code>: use x87 for floating point operations; should support all x86 chips (Pentium MMX or later).</li>
<li><code>GO386=sse2</code>: use SSE2 for floating point operations; has better performance than 387, but only available on Pentium 4/Opteron/Athlon 64 or later.</li>
<li><code>GO386=softfloat</code>: use software floating point operations; should support all x86 chips (Pentium MMX or later).</li>
