Hi Guillaume,

To your question on IRC:

That sounds like we'd (short term) need to patch the configure script to
explicitly be tuned for a particular target platform. Then build the
binary n times - one for each optimization target.

The long term fix is to work with OSEC for example and make sure that
this becomes a real runtime check via IFUNCs for example, nothing
checked at compile time. The same binary ideally runs fast everywhere then.
