+No, the clanSWRender has only a SSE2 implementation because no one wants
+to write a SW render which is too slow.

+
+I wonder if we could enable for now SSE2, till upstream/somebody has a
+better fix : for now, all SSE2 cpus crash. Enabling SSE2 it will only
+crash on non-SSE2 cpus (older than 10 years)
