Now, after successfully build of 3.8.0-beta2 for my home dated
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz, I would like to ask you how to
make a build for powerful architecture which supports more advanced
instructions set.

If I understand well, CPU optimization is switched on by default. The
question is: how to get the most from a particular CPU - are there any
options or defines to turn on support of particular architecture
features ?

Now I see in the following, when asking 'povray --help':
Dynamic optimizations:
CPU detected: AMD,FMA4
Noise generator: generic (portable)
