EDIT: I have a package in the AUR that reverts the upstream change and builds with the -Ddisable_sse2=1 flag so it works on older i686 hardware: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-no-sse2
EDIT2: Since I am building chromium-no-sse2 for my own use, I have the pre-compiled package available on repo-ck.com for anyone wishing to use it. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Repo-ck#Miscellaneous_packages
