does QNX 6.3.2 support SSE3?   
if not, are there any plans to support it in the future versions?

Binutils 2.12 does not have SSE3 support. Newer versions of the binutils do have support for SSE3 and QNX 6.4 will 
contain updated binutils.

You can download binutils 2.17 from the Core Development Tools project.

Isn't that a feature of the compiler?  I mean if one hand codes SSE3/SSE4 instructions it should run on 6.3.x right?

Binutils 2.12 does not have support the SSE3 opcodes (as Mikhail's example shows). But one could do the encodings by 
hand (using a macro) and still use the 2.12 assembler.
