Comment(by zimmerma):

 > I will try to find a fix.

 with Pierrick Gaudry, we have analyzed and fixed the problem.

 Long story: the asm volatile instructions without constraints in the
 configure script compile fine without -msse2, but those from the
 {{{spv.c}}} file, which have constraints, do not compile
 without -msse2. The fix was to put instructions with constraints in
 configure.

 Short story: apply the following patch
 {{{
