I've just tried this, and it works perfectly without SSE. Luckily, the
code in question doesn't contain hardcoded SSE instructions, so it boils
down to a simple makefile patch, overriding the CFLAGS.

On amd64, we might want to enable the tree vectorizer and SSE, but as
seen on x86, it also works without.

JFTR: I tried the svn repo.
