Why are AMD64 optimizations disabled in imlib2?

The amd64 optimizations (--enable-amd64) are disabled in the imlib2-1.2.1.009 ebuild (and in the 1.2.2 ebuild too). There are a few lines of code there to enable it when appropriate, but it's commented out.
Since I looked it up in the bugzilla, and found nothing, I am curious why this was disabled.

Some time ago I changed the ebuild in order to enable this option but then I got some errors with programs that used imlib2. Since I had not much time to investigate, I turned it off again. I don't know the reason, maybe now it's been fixed. Imlib2 are fast enough even w/o this option

EDIT: typo

Does that mean you're going to turn it back on?

Not now for sure, I'm using E17 as default window manager (deeply based on Imlib2) and I don't want more headaches.
