Welcome here, Mathias.

Which target processor / which intrinsics?

intrinsics are arch dependant  compiler extensions and they help the compiler during optimizations.

Depending on your usecase, a simple implementation would be inline assembly
in the intrinsic header files with the same names used by other compiler.

Yes, the inline assembler needs updates for unsupported mnemonics

Until then, you can use ".byte" in inline assembly.
(We use that in our tests)
