I've had this trying to install Asterisk on a machine with a VIA processor.  
Turned out to be VIA's fault for pretending to be an i686 when in fact it only 
supported a subset of i686 instructions  (and Asterisk wanted to use one of 
the ones that it didn't).

The cure was to make distclean and re-compile for an i586 target.

Please post the contents of /proc/cpuinfo on the machine which is failing to 
run Asterisk.
