Hi Wan, to answer the most pressing answer first: No, you should *not* install an older version of GCC (that would be relatively involved, too). The test failing actually only affects you if you plan on using the VOLK polar decoder. Don't think that is the case, since you're not mentioning it.
So, just act as if the test passes. It's very bad it fails, but it shouldn't affect you: you can even disable the failing architecture (AVX2, I guess) for that specific kernel and you would get a kernel that works (according to the unit tests, which might themselves be buggy, but that's a whole different story!).
