Actually a --disable--mmx option is documented on configure.
And for the rewrite, replacing e?x by r?x in assembler files won't be
enough, some other code also has to be changed to accommodate the
different calling conventions (function arguments on linux-x86 are on
the stack, but the first ones on linux-amd64 are in the 64-bit
registers). Perhaps using inline assembly would allow having only one
version of the assembly code.
