Do we need HAVE_SSE4?  It should be easy enough to add.

No, HAVE_MMX is just that.  True, it's abused in some places where
ARCH_X86 would be better (when invoking init functions), but that
is an issue that needs to be addressed at some point.

What is your goal?  Do you want to write something like

  #if HAVE_INLINE_SSSE3

instead of

  #if HAVE_SSSE3 && HAVE_INLINE_ASM

?
