   What do you
think about the approach taken by "liboil"?
 
http://liboil.freedesktop.org/
 The library has implementations for various CPU-Extensions, and at run
 time, when the library is initialized, a set of function pointers is
 set to point to the "right" implementation functions. 
 It would have been smarter to have liboil.so be a symlink to
  liboil-sse_4_1.so (or whatever hardware you may have) 
 
What if I export /usr over NFS and have machines with different
x86-processors using that filesystem?
Having a completely "self-contained" solution sure has its merits.
Cheers
