[bug#35878] [PATCH] gnu: Add chafa.

[guy fleury iteriteka]

Hello Ludovic,

Sorry for taking so long time.
I discus with the developper upstream. Here is what he tells me:
---------------------------------
Even if it builds SSE support, it will only be used at runtime if the
platform supports it. It uses CPUID internally to detect the CPU
capabilities when run.
-------------------------------

He will also add a note to clarify things in the next release!

Thanks.

I’d suggest the changes below.

Additionally, this code detects SSE4.1 and related instruction set
extensions at configuration time.  As a result, I think the resulting
code may not run on all x86_64 machines.

Could you investigate this and see how we can get a generic binary?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
