Well, a practical workaround is always to build the port yourself using
different OPTIONs :-)
Jokes aside, your point is of course valid. It seems there are still a
large enough number of i386 CPUs in production that can't work with
the SSE/SSE2-optimisations in ffmpeg. We might need to drop these
optimisations in the set of default OPTIONs on i386.

In your particular case: What exact CPU is this? Could you confirm
that building an ffmpeg package without the SSE OPTION resolves the
issue for you?

Thanks and best regards
