Yes, but this doesn't answer the question, what is the concern? That
failure to compile OpenSSL with these flags would inhibit application
code compiled with these flags (i.e. you'd fail to link or it would
cause crashes)? It won't. That overall performance would be
significantly worse? It won't. There is really no need to compile
OpenSSL with them (and limit it to subclass of processors). But there is
a way to add custom options, so feel free to add them on your own.
