Details

Description: Chromium compiles by default with sse2 support included, which is disable in the arch PKGBUILD for the sake of the i686 package. However, since all x86_64 platforums include sse2 support, perhaps it would be beneficial to not apply the disable-sse2-patch for the x86_64 package, e.g. by removing this line in the PKGBUILD:
patch -p0 -i ${srcdir}/drop_sse2.patch || return 1
with this line:
[ "$CARCH" = "i686" ] && patch -p0 -i ${srcdir}/drop_sse2.patch || return 1

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  The patch only affects i686 anyway. Read the build system. x86_64 always uses sse2.
