As of late, when building (and installing) -head I end up with a libcrypto 
causing SIGILL, apparently due to using the ``pshufb'' instruction (which I 
believe is part of the SSE3 extension).

My CPU is, according to /proc/cpuinfo:
> processor     : 0
> vendor_id     : AuthenticAMD
> cpu family    : 15
> model         : 6
> model name    : AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 265 Processor
> stepping      : 3
> cpu MHz               : 3311.46
> fdiv_bug      : no
> fpu           : yes

> cpuid level   : 5

(No sse3)


As far as gdb is concerned, in libcrypto.so.8.4, this is the point where it 
blows up:
   [...]
  >0x7f7ff6f3ba87  pshufb %xmm6,%xmm0   ;bang
   0x7f7ff6f3ba8c  add    $0x40,%r9     ;for context
   0x7f7ff6f3ba90  pshufb %xmm6,%xmm1
   0x7f7ff6f3ba95  pshufb %xmm6,%xmm2
   0x7f7ff6f3ba9a  pshufb %xmm6,%xmm3
   0x7f7ff6f3ba9f  paddd  %xmm9,%xmm0

(Core dump available on request)

The assembly code originates from 
crypto/external/bsd/openssl/dist/crypto/sha/asm/sha1-x86_64.pl (around line 
346), but seems to have been untouched for too long to be the culprit (a -head 
build in March didn't provoke the problem yet).

Any ideas?
