Ah. Good old Soekris. I had a quick look through the source of netdata. The only part of netdata that makes use of the SSE instruction set is their implementation of the stats.d. Now, I didn't test this but you could try disabling just this part of the application. It shouldn't affect the charts.
/etc/netdata/netdata.conf: [statsd] enabled = no I don't know if the compiler automatically used the SSE2 instruction set elsewhere, but it's worth a try.
