I think building it with SSE3 is better than excluding the architecture
entirely. And FYI, requiring SSE3 is not really allowed even for x86_64 (you
are allowed to assume only SSE2), so by that argument, there is no
architecture left.
ACK. Does anybody know if there are any x86_64/64bit-CPUs which do not support sse3?

I don't see sse3 in /proc/cpuinfo of any machine I have, but I also don't see any runtime error/warning from darktable.

Of course, a better solution would be to fix the package to work on all CPUs
you support.
ACK.

But if upstream doesn't care, it's going to be a problem. :-(
Exactly - That's the actual problem. Upstream does not care and Fedora seems unable to address this issue.
