That wouldn't work too well for ARM:  you'd want ARMv6 with
or without VFP, ARMv7-A with or without VFP + with or
without NEON (and also with a poor VFP so that you should
use NEON).  Of course one can always hope dev's would
select at runtime the fastest function for the platform, but that's
only hope :-)
