How would you do better in that instance?
I think everyone knows it's bad, but I'm guessing that the maintainer
didn't have a better approach for detecting whether the referenced
instructions worked on the installed system.

I'm assuming that if feature tests in /proc/cpuinfo were sufficient they
would have been used.
