Well, I have successfully built Sage on my 11e—over a period of several 
hours! :-) Right now I'm running the tests with ./sage --testall to make 
sure everything is a-ok, but cli Sage starts, as does the notebook, so it 
looks good so far.

Maybe I'll try building the dev version of openblas on this hardware later, 
but I'm not really sure what to do to test it once it does build. This was 
my first time building a big program from source, so I'm still getting used 
to it all. It would be interesting to see if this detection issue with 
lower-end x86-64 cpus continues in the dev version.
