I do. Running Arch Linux on a bunch of informational room displays...
These are based on Geode CPUs and I am pretty sure no SSE2 is available.
(Taking a look at /proc/cpuinfo these devices do not even feature SSE... The
CPU identifies itself as i586.)

That said I will be able to handle that myself. ;)
Possibly I will have to do local rebuilds of webkitgtk2 to make surf run on
these devices from time to time.
