...unless the user passed the -no-sse2 option to the compiler.
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes] Qt now automatically generates
code for processors supporting SSE2 on i386 platforms. To disable
this, pass the -no-sse2 option during Qt configuration. Since this
feature has been present on CPUs for 10 years and since Qt no longer
checks for runtime support for SSE2, we strongly encourage users to
leave the default setting on for best performance.
- For Linux distributions that must retain support for CPUs without
SSE2, we recommend doing two builds of Qt and installing the
SSE2-enabled libraries in the LIBDIR/sse2 directory. Tools,
plugins, and examples are not affected.
