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.

sorry for the inconvenience
