Do you know how many such places there might be? If it's just a few functions, we could match against the function names, or depending on what `SIMD_CFUNC` expands to, perhaps we could match that. Failing that, we could set a platform-specific default or similar.

We need a deeper audit across our internal stack to be sure, though.  I don't think we'll have bandwidth for that until ~late February.


OK, that seems fine to me. I don't want this to miss another release if we can avoid it, but that should give plenty of time to iterate on something that keeps your SDK building :)
