that's what NO_SIMD=ON in debian/rules seems to handle.

It might just be bad luck that i386 is the second architecture in salsa.

i386 was the other architecture where I tried building before 
submitting the bug, and I got an error there that looked similar
to [1].

Without much debugging this looks like an i386-only problem to me,
something like tbb trying to use SSE headers. blender had already
become 32-bit-only, for that it does not matter whether rkcommon
is available on i386.

I don't know if i386 is the only archtecture where rkcommon fails to 
build, but at least on riscv64 the NO_SIMD=ON codepath works and I'd be 
optimistic that it works on more architectures.
