Comment (by dtakahashi42@…):

 I agree with your concerns about the performance impact, however, I think
 it is practically ignorable, because all assemblers included in ccutils
 are too old to support AVX instructions.

 All the versions of macports' gcc use {{{as}}} from macports' ccutils and
 XCode's gcc uses /usr/bin/as, and both of those assemblers are too old. As
 a result, all of those gcc do not compile AVX (some people tried to
 replace an assembler by clang, but it looks just an experiment
 [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9840207/how-to-use-avx-pclmulqdq-on-
 mac-os-x-lion]...).
