I ran into this:

but I really don't understand anything about these alternative
instruction sets and would think my CPU is pretty vanilla.
I mean, I hope to avoid trail-and-error approaches to solving this ...
My first reaction was "have you specified x86 in make.conf?". As others
have said, you need to make sure it's either x86_64, or AMD64, whatever
is appropriate.
I think SSE2 first appeared about the end of the Pentium era (if not
earlier), so any half-way-modern cpu will have it.
Dunno whether these musings will be any help, but we'll see ...
