ACK. Does anybody know if there are any x86_64/64bit-CPUs which do
not support sse3?
I don't see sse3 in /proc/cpuinfo of any machine I have, but I also
don't see any runtime error/warning from darktable.
SSE3 is reported as 'pni' (Prescott New Instructions)

ACK.

Exactly - That's the actual problem. Upstream does not care and
Fedora seems unable to address this issue.
