I have discussed a bit the issue with Clint Whaley (the main developer of ATLAS), and I think I got a way to build ATLAS without using SSE (which caused trouble for some "old" ATHLON last time, AFAIK). I can provide the informations to you; I would just need someone to test the binaries on a non SSE machine, since I don't have any myself.
