One can always pass desired CPUTYPE is they want to build their package
with specific target.  As for amd64, here I agree, checking for ARCH
makes sence.  I don't mind this heuristics, as long as there is no SSE
option.  OPTIONS like this are bad since they are cached and can stay
unnoticed for long periods of time.

On the other hand, Chromium is web browser, which it most likely is going
to be used on users' desktop, where SSE2 is probably feels like home for
a while already.  :-)
