By default, fcl compiles with the `FCL_USE_X64_SSE` option enabled, that compiles the library with SSE flags enabled. This creates problems in any compiler that do not targets x86 or x86_64 . While the problem can be easily solved by user by setting the FCL_USE_X64_SSE to OFF (as done for example in Debian packaging scripts, see https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/fcl/-/blob/61641fb7a12d19806c799503fc90fcd64b20c5ad/debian/rules#L10) it is nice to provide a working build out of the box.

Initially I wanted to provide a more general fix, by setting
FCL_TARGET_SUPPORT_X64_SSEtoONonly if the target architecture isx86orx86_64, but then I discovered that it is surprisingly difficult to check in CMake the target architecture in a multi-platform way (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11944060/how-to-detect-target-architecture-using-cmake), so for now I just did a conservative modification of setting the default value of FCL_USE_X64_SSE to OFF on Emscripten (that was the initial target for which I found this issue).This change is
