This is not a bug, but a feature: the package is refusing to install on a machine whose CPU does not have SSE2 support, which is needed. The alternative would be to allow the installation to complete resulting in non-working executable.
I could make it just a warning, and allow the user to force the installation to proceed anyway. This would address the case that the installation is being done on a non-SSE2-enabled box, but will be moved to a more capable machine. E.g., this might make sense on a bootable USB device. (If people think that's a good idea, I'd welcome a patch!)
