this isn't related to sse2 on x86 though, it's related to sse4.2 on
x86_64, which is quite different (and what luajit is pulling in in this
case. for all i know, the x86 version also wants sse2, but this i didn't
check)

also, even x86 will now officially be sse2[0] (the target will be
-march=3Dpentium4), so we won't be advertising any non-sse support, so
your recommendations of other distros will remain valid :)
