Package: blender
Version: 2.56.1-beta-svn34076-1
Followup-For: Bug #599680

I've got the same issue on my computer (AMD Athlon XP 3000+, does not
support SSE2).

Based on a bit of testing, I'm able to run the official Blender 2.56a
32-bit binary (blender-2.56a-beta-linux-glibc27-i686) on this computer
without any issues. However, the Debian binary dies with SIGILL.

Since the official binary can work without SSE2, I really hope the
Blender binaries will be compiled without SSE2, because this would allow
the binaries to work on a broader range of hardware. Dropping support
for non-SSE2 hardware would only make sense if upstream makes the same
decision, IMHO.

Please drop mandatory SSE2 for the glory of the "Linux makes hideously
outdated computers useful again" movement. =)
