If I change
add_definitions(-msse)
to
add_definitions(-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2)
it is working stable with all GCC that I tested (4.9.3, 5.4, 6.1, 7.0).
There is minimal slow-down with this change to GCC 5.4.
GCC 7.0 is working OK with current x265 code (so it is only GCC 6.1 problem).
MSVC is now default at SSE2 level for 32-bit target.
Intel Compiler is also at SSE2 level (-march=pentium4).
x264 ads for 32-bit GCC options: "-march=i686 -mfpmath=sse -msse -msse2" -- so it is also default at SSE2 level.
For me the best option is to change x265 default level for 32-bit GCC output to SSE2 (it was patch proposition 12954 from 2016-04-15, but it wasn't committed). It fixes GCC 6.1 problem and speed-up compression.

'-march=i686' is without MMX nor SSE, so '-msse' changes a bit. GCC 6.1 is working OK with '-msse' option (but it is only workaround to GCC bug).
