Sorry, I read that line wrong. Tired.
I don't know why it's written in such an opaque manner (a simple `if` would
suffice), but it seems like this error is printed only if x86 is used and SSE2
is disabled, which doesn't make sense to me? Is SSE2 required for building/
running NodeJS on x86 machines?
But how can my CPU be mistaken for a 32-bit machine?
