Rather than trying to cater to multiple assembly instruction
implementations ourselves, have you tried taking the ideas in this
earlier thread?
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-10/msg05298.html

Ideally, libc's memcmp() will already be using the most efficient
assembly instructions without us having to reproduce the work of picking
the instructions that work best.
