This is a nice idea but in practice was never used, or people builds binary with popcnt enabled or not, mainly according to their type of CPU. And it was also never used in the official Jim's builds where, in case, would be easier for a number of reasons, do build two different versions: with and without SEE42 support. So retire this feature and simplify the code. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba ---
