Just spotted something that could be interesting: libmmx,
A C library interface to the MMX multimedia extensions to the ix86
instruction set.

>From its README:

This library is intended to provide C function level support for the
MMX instruction set.  It does so by providing a data type for
partitioned registers, and functions which allow operands of this type
to be passed to an MMX instruction and returned from it.
All of the original MMX instructions are supported by the library
except for MOVD and MOVQ whose functionality is unnecessary at the C
programming level.

Home site: http://shay.ecn.purdue.edu/~swar, source is at 
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/libmmx-980501.tgz.

Doesn't look too Linux specific.
It does take binutils-2.8.1 to compile, though.

Regards, 
Vladimir
