I am absolutely not going to do this, because as soon as I do a CPUx
build, someone on CPUy will want a specific build, and CPUz which should
be compatible with CPUx won't work for some reason.
The thing takes 2+ hours to compile, more with optimizations. I'm not
spending half a day building various versions for each release.
And, most importantly, CPU-specific builds do not give the performance
increase you'd expect. Writing smarter code is always a better solution.
