Those packages need to be fixed.
I know there are some audio production packages which are building with SSE
enabled (and required, those packages don't do runtime detection), IIRC in
both Fedora and RPM Fusion, in blatant violation of the guidelines, and the
packager(s) refuse(s) to fix this (they even do it intentionally for new
packages, despite my objections in the reviews). If I'm not mistaken, most
of the offenders are owned by oget (Orcan Ogetbil), but if I were you, I'd
check all the audio production packages.

This one needs to get fixed too, of course.
I've looked at how Debian is handling this, but they're stuck at an old
version (3.6.0), maybe exactly because of this issue. :-(
We need to provide "architectural defaults" for plain i686, even crappy
ones, they just need to work at all.
