What effect does this have on performance on an alpha ?
I mean FFmpeg will still build after this just without the removed
optimizations.
I think if optimizations are removed, that impact should be docuemnted
(this allows users to judge if they want to stay on a old ffmpeg with these
 optimizations or upgrade)

Also we have alpha fate clients:

Old school: Use the lowest level language in which you can solve the problem
            conveniently.
New school: Use the highest level language in which the latest supercomputer
            can solve the problem without the user falling asleep waiting.
