Abhinav,

I am not certain what to make of the asynch message buffer overflowing.

The __SSE2_MATH__, __SSE_MATH__, __SSE2__, __SSE__ defines are the SIMD
preprocessor defines.  Can you run gcc --version and do cat /proc/cpuinfo |
grep flags?  The former will indicate the gcc version number.  The latter
will indicate what SIMD instructions the processor actually supports.  Also
do you know what version of VOLK and gnuradio you have?
