It should, but obviously that's not a viable solution in the general
case.

You shouldn't need to explicitly reconfigure all applications just to
make a library use a core CPU feature like SSE or AESNI. The library
should get that right for itself.

OpenSSL *does* get that right for SSE, but not (yet) for AESNI.
Hence RT#2045.
