Intrinsics with -march=pentium3

I guess I can always do that, but it's going to be messy trying to tell
autoconf "compile this file with a different switch and only if this
switch is enabled". Any idea how one would do that?

For simple functions, wouldn't that be slower than a plain "if" because
of the branch prediction?
