295 | Use it if you are building this package on a 32-bit system with

296 | GCC (if Clang is not installed or GCC is explicitly specified).
|
---|
297 | Note that this will cause JS to crash on a processor without SSE2
|

298 | capability. If you are running the system on such an old processor,
|
---|
299 | Clang is strictly needed. This setting is not needed on 64-bit
|
---|
300 | systems because all 64-bit x86 processors support SSE2 and the 64-bit
|
---|
301 | compilers (both Clang and GCC) use SSE2 by default.
