Details

Description:

The current build of the library enables all backends.
Namely SSE, MMX, Altivec, NEON, Arm, c64x and MIPS

Considering that Arch targets x86 architecture we don't need the latter four.

One can select the former three at configure time like:
./configure --enable-backend=mmx,sse,altivec


Additional info:
* package version(s)
orc 0.4.19-1

Thanks
Emil

P.S. Is there any particular reason why the package is not updated to v0.4.22 [1] ? Is the maintainer just busy or there is some issue with newer versions?

Unfortunately, the current maintainer isn't very active at the moment. This is why it hasn't been updated.
