It would probably be easier to look at a simpler package such as speex
(the only package on my system that ships libraries with sse2 support on
i386). The eglibc source package is rather hard to understand.

Unless your library is very big I don't think it's worth to create an
extra binary package, just include the sse2 enabled library in the "lib"
package.
