After actually _reading_ the patch I now agree with removing the part
_from the makefile_ (yes, I know I should read more carefully and not
skim through the mails).
I thought the patch was to remove the configure check, which I oppose,
even though I'm well aware that it makes configure check for things
that don't matter.
There also, if someone what to remove these checks, I'd prefer if they
could just be commented out.
I'm also well aware that if they were removed from configure, they
could be resurrected anytime thanks to svn history, but I figure it
would just make the life of someone willing to contribute code with
intrinsics easier.

Either way, I won't strongly oppose and make a big fuss about it, I'd
just _prefer_ if configure stuff could stay as it is.
