Hi Stefan,
In bug#1023007, we discovered that `luatex`'s JIT compiler generates
code that uses SSE2 instructions, so `texlive-binaries` was changed to
require `sse2-support`.
As I understood the situation it is not luatex, which does not work on
your computer, but just the luajit... variants. So I could split them
out into a new package, which is only needed by texlive-extra-utils, b/c
this package tries to build luajit... formats.
Seems to be a rather easy solution. Unfortunately we are late in the
release cycle [1] and the change won't make it into the next stable
release. Sorry!
