Further tests have indicated (though not proven, at least for point a) 
that
a) ffreep is only emitted if -march=native is used (which I added in an 
attempt to fix point b) and
b) xulrunner-1.9.0.7 mistakenly enables SSE1 (not ffreep, but also 
causing SIGILL) on all x86 hosts [1].

So while still a serious compiler issue (and reported before for a 
different processor [2]), it only seems to happen if additional compiler 
options are passed.
