Yes, I also believe that if user wants to build a package for machine other
than theirs, they are expected to know how these things work and what to do
to get the work done. From our side, we should provide easy and straight-
forward means of such customizations.
Summarizing our discussion, what do you think of the following?
.if ! ${MACHINE_CPU:Msse2} || defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING) && ${ARCH} != "amd64"
GYP_DEFINES+= disable_sse2=1
.endif
Default package would have reasonable defaults now, custom port build can
be controlled by passing desired MACHINE_CPU. Building SSE2-enabled
package for i386 is a bit tricky, but cannot be possibly polluted by
stale cached OPTIONS value.

True. But for this case, making default package for i386 SSE2-free
should be just what's wanted.
