I do this as much as possible. I even go out of my way to compile things if I have access to source with a weaker version of x86, or even cross compile it for something like MIPS.

This is done however not due to a theoretical limitation of the tooling, but rather a practical one in that I haven't written SSE lifters and decoders yet. If I were to write these it would work just fine.
