Is there compiler that supports dissembling into MMX instructions?
More precisely, if I have e.g. a vector dot product that I think will
reap significant benefit if I utilize the MMX instruction set, do I
have to code by hand or is there a compiler who will do it for me?

[The MMX looks to me like a pretty unpleasant compiler target. I believe
that most of the support you'll find is in routines written in assembler.
