No; I' just testing the configure builds on Linux systems with a
variety of compiler versions (gcc, g++, the latest clang) and about 28
different build configurations.  That amounts to a little over 1000
builds on x86_64 and a few hundred on ARM systems (I don't cross-build
on those.)

I do build the NEON stuff, but it looks like the way things are set up
the only part of that which gets tested is the assembler code when I
build on ARMv7.  If the SSE stuff is to be in the mainline I'll add
tests for it on x86_64, but I don't patch the build - I just run
autoreconf -f -i to generate the configure scripts.

Obviously I can apply a patch, but at present running all the tests I
run takes me just three commands to bash on each machine; everything
else is automatic.  Doing a patch means an extra git directory and
extra steps rather than just an extra configuration.
