// Exclude powerpc since it may have this header and triggers a warning (-DNO_WARN_X86_INTRINSICS) which tells you that
// x86intrin.h is only there to allow porting x86_64 code to powerpc, specifically Intel intrinsics to powerpc64le.
// Since we will not support powerpc for the builtin simd backend, we will avoid including this header.

// See the following link for a full description of the x86intrin.h header on powerpc
