This is a bug if it results in a different binary package.   As others
said, this has  to be runtime.   A binary package has to run on any
system of the build systems architecture (e.g. NetBSD/x86_64,
NetBSD/i386), regardless of build system cpu extensions.

Arguably this is an upstream bug, as it doesn't play well with packaging.

Agreed that force-disable is a good first step.
