I'm tending towards building the code in a .S separately as R?mi suggests and selecting the right function at run-time. We probably will need a configure-time option to enable compiling the code in at all, but it'll allow us to have a single binary for multiple architectures, which should be useful to binary ARM distros. -- Arun
