I also had noticed this, a while ago (but no opportunity to work on it
properly).

I had found GCC/RTL 'ssad', 'usad', and 'gcc/tree.def:SAD_EXPR', but not
verified their applicability.

Would that not be a case for a proper TREE-level representation, and
'gcc/match.pd' patterns to catch and transform any appearances to that, and
then let each back end generate an ideal sequence of instructions (with a
default to the expression you gave above)?
