I guess it will have weird effects with runtime cpudetection. Also a
MPlayer binary without asm optimization is IMO rather useless. And
lastly I think last time even some of the non-MMX/SSE/3DNOW asm would
not compile.
IMO print a big warning that recommends using --target=generic-linux
that the user has to confirm. Since ICC is not really supported such a
message similar to the one for a certain older gcc version isn't a bad
idea (also since libmpeg2 probably still compiles but the result is broken).
I am also certain that all these "hacks" were not needed for version
8.x, maybe it did not support asm() at all?
