I have the same issue on x86, on a machine which does not have sse2, either: According to some user posts on the skype page, it seems skype does no longer work on processors which have no sse2. It would be nice to have at least some emulation (also for adobe-flash), but I do not know about such a project.
Report it to upstream. Amynka
