If you have MAC instructions its because they matter for your
applications, which are likely written in C/C++. You probably care
deeply that the compiler emit them.

Having said that, you may not worry too much about most of the
libraries, because they won't have code that benefits that much from
MAC. The exception being the math library. So you probably only multilib
that one.
