[jira] Resolved: (HARMONY-3961) Allow Jitrino.dll to run on systems w/o SSE2

Alexey Varlamov resolved HARMONY-3961.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This issue does not affect x64 as all known x86-64 CPUs support SSE2 (MSVC 64-bit compiler even complains that /arch option is not recognized).
I measured Jitrino compilation performance with and w/o arch-specific options for cl and gcc builds, difference is within statistic noise. BTW, no other VM components specify arch compilation options for building, and Jitrino better be consistent here.
Fix applied at revision: 543053.
