Gentoo uses USE flags for sse2.

Well I'm sure that if someone wanted to pick through the Qt5WebKit source code and make all the necessary adjustments, they might be successful. But yes... I'm quite sure that if you try to build Qt5 from the official source packages by passing in the --no-sse2 flag, that WebKit will be taken off the table, and won't even try to build. Believe me, I've tried. Individual Qt component packages from various distros may be different, of course. But anything that requires WebKit isn't going to get much joy when configuring the official Qt sources to disable sse2.

The distros use the official sources, and ArchLinux at least doesn't lay a finger on the sources (well, two upstream patches are applied

).

Oh well, a mystery.

Who knows? Maybe they've fixed it since the early days of Qt5. I admit it's been a while since I tried a --no-sse2 qt5 build. And even then, it was probably on Windows.
