As someone whose software heavily depends on SSE and AVX2 assembly code,
we always do runtime detection. The SSE2 baseline of x86_64 is handy as
there are a few things I can inline as a result, but there is no
performance benefit to an AVX2 baseline, other than possibly the binary
size dropping a bit as it no longer has to include the SSE2 versions of
the functions.
