I suggest that we remove the '-arch:SSE' added on Windows, i.e. that we require at least SSE2-capable systems. This was added by 8bd6bf93b7 in 2014, but at this point there's basically nobody who would be running LO but wouldn't be capable of SSE2. Some relevant facts: - GCC, Clang and MSVC all default to SSE2+ - The last Windows to work without at least SSE2 was Windows 7, which is EOL (and in fact it in practice required SSE2+ too, since an update in 2018). - Windows 8, MSOffice 2013, Chromium require SSE2+. - I checked all ~240k crash dumps reported in the last month and there's not a single one from a machine not capable of SSE2.
(FWIW, when -msse2 was discussed for 32-bit Linux x86 in the context of <https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2016-September/075211.html> "Re: Test File: sc/qa/unit/data/functions/fods/chiinv.fods: fails with Assertion", it was turned down in replies <https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2016-September/075324.html> and <https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2016-September/075316.html>.)
