Yeah - do we care? SSE2 has come of age in most legislations :-)
Perhaps you need to force -mstackrealign (at least on GCC) with -msse2
on i386 and if you really need to support museal CPUs, make SSE an
option and default it to enabled. Or maybe a -nosse flavor.
I had been considering SSE2 for rawtherapee as well, and as a result, I
have had this in ports/graphics/rawtherapee/Makefile. It used to be an
option into early 2019, but aside from one irrelevant complaint of
someone who was trying to argue me out of LTO with -O3 for rawtherapee's
heavy lifting ^W^W number crunching, no complaints.
graphics/rawtherapee/Makefile excerpt:
--------->8-------------------------------------------------------------
.include <bsd.port.options.mk>
# ...
# x86_64/amd64 includes -msse2 by default
.if ${ARCH} == i386
# and SSE2 has been around since the year 2003 latest
_OPT_FLAGS+= -msse2
.endif
# workaround for values passed on the stack that cause SIGBUS on SSE2
.if ${ARCH} == i386
_OPT_FLAGS+= -mstackrealign
.endif
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
# ...
