I believe fate and proper bug reports are here for that, even with
your scenarios. I mean, for instance I can only test Win32/64, but
neither linux x86, PPC nor ARM, so I haven't bought much improvement
with this.

So I'd, as well as several x86 implementers, prefer the MMX* code not
to be built under ARCH_X86_32. You seemed to be fine with either.

And this was accepted as an intermediate ground between not keeping
all optimizations that only apply to 15+ yo systems (there are several
people of that opinion), and keeping everything as is.
