You have hit a bug introduce by accident via #3761.

Edit the file $SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/sage-flags.txt and remove the "nx"
and "up" flag.

The flags file is meant to prevent binaries build with SSE2 and SSE3
to run on machines that do not have those instructions (older 32 bit
x86 CPUs for example), Unfortunately the detection is a little
overzealous, i.e. "nx" indicates "no execute" capabilies, not sure
what "up" is about.

We are tracking the problem at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4642
and will have it fixed hopefully soon. Thanks for reporting the issue.
