This is more spec-compliant because it does not rely
on dead-code elimination by the compiler. Especially
MSVC has problems with this, as can be seen in
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2022-May/296373.html
or

This commit does not eliminate every instance where we rely
on dead code elimination: It only tackles branching to
the initialization of arch-specific dsp code, not e.g. all
uses of CONFIG_ and HAVE_ checks. But maybe it is already
enough to compile FFmpeg with MSVC with whole-programm-optimizations
enabled (if one does not disable too many components).

Blackfin is a painful platform to work with, no test machines are available
and the range of multimedia applications is dubious. Thus it only represents
a maintenance burden.
The code represents a considerable maintenance burden and it is not
clear that it gives a noticeable benefit to outweigh this after 10
years of improvements in compiler technology since its creation.
