The problem appears to be AVX (next gen SSE) that only appears on new CPUs (2011 and later). Only gcc 4.6+ and Intel 11.1+ are aware of the instruction set, which is why you are seeing the error. AVX could be turned on if the correct compiler version is recognized but I don't know if it is worth it and don't have a suitable CPU to find out. I've just omitted the option from configure for now and pushed the changes.
