I was wrong, sorry. The instruction in question is "cvtsi2sd", which
is SSE2 not MMX. Maybe on x86_64 SSE2 is default.

Indeed if I add -CfSSE2 than those instructions are generated for
i386, at least for variable "i" (Integer). Int64 "max" is stored in
two registers so it is still handled the same way.
