I found your reply on a similar post too, but I didn't figure out I could make it in winxp thanks to vmware.

What is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo I doubt this will be helpful. Having thought about this for a while my guess is that some of the instructions used in MPIR might cause this. When I wrote a script to detect advanced instructions I only concentrated on SSE instructions since back then it was the major (and only known) problem. If gdb is installed in the VMWare image we can start Sage under gdb, get a back trace (to figure out which library it is) and then disassemble around the current pc so that I can fix this :) So far no one has provided information to what is wrong, i.e. which instruction[s] in what library causes this, so I cannot even start to fix this.
