I see that the sse4.1 requirement is only a flaw of the build system, thus it should be possible to compile for the arch's baseline. The package has legitimate use cases on older computers, thus there's no reason to hard-require CPU extensions. If there's a drastic speed difference with and without vectorization, it's possible to build two variants, either in a single executable (selected at runtime) or separately. When built as a single executable, GCC even has nice support for auto-selecting appropriate variant.
