Arch Linux

Description:
Chromium seems to be compiled with SSE2 extensions enabled. Since the package is marked as i686-compatible, I consider this to be a bug, because i686 doesn't contain SSE2.

Additional info:

I've checked this first on this version:

(2:506)$ pacman -Qo chromium
/usr/bin/chromium jest własnością chromium 36.0.1985.143-1

Later, after Chromium update, this version has the same problem:

(2:509)$ pacman -Qo chromium
/usr/bin/chromium jest własnością chromium 37.0.2062.94-1

This is my CPU:
(2:504)$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

Steps to reproduce:

1. Acquire an i686 CPU (i.e. AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+)

2. Run chromium.

Example:

(2:503)$ gdb -q /usr/lib/chromium/chromium
Reading symbols from /usr/lib/chromium/chromium...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) r
