cc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mssse3’
...


There are two issues:


1. SSE

Regarding amd64, the sse code does not actually seem to use SSSE3
(the default SSE2 is sufficient), the package still builds after
removing the -mssse3 appends from cmake/DefaultFlags_sse.cmake.

With the latest sources from the generator (see #1137162)
arm64 could build with -DSIMINT_VECTOR=asimd after removing
-march=native from skel/cmake/DefaultFlags_asimd.cmake.

Other architectures are supposed to build with -DSIMINT_VECTOR=scalar.


2. rdtsc

The rdtsc usage in test/Timer.h makes the code FTBFS on non-x86
even after the above.

violation, which is RC, and everything else, which is not (because
those build failures are not really a regression).

The original bug will be for the baseline violation.

I'll drop -mssse3 as you suggest, and use "scalar" for i386.

I don't know what could be done with the remaining build failures.
The package has not had an upstream release in a long time and I'm not
sure it will worth the effort to make it fully portable. Will leave
that for Michael when he has the time.

Thanks.
