I think this is related from LLVM: "Issue 20213 - clang-cl doesn't support SSSE3", http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20213. I can't find a Debian report at the moment.
I was always aware there was some trouble due to working with OS X. I was not aware it was this bad. I did not realize there was no Lauchpad reports or remediations in place. ** Bug watch added: LLVM #20213 https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20213 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to llvm-toolchain-3.4 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616723 Title: Clang 3.4 only advertises SSE2 Status in llvm-toolchain-3.4 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm working on a 5th generation Core i5 (see /proc/cpuinfo below). The CPU offers SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, RDRAND, RDSEED, etc. Ubuntu provides Clang 3.4. On this machine, the compiler claims SSE2 is all that is available: $ clang++ -march=native -dM -E - < /dev/null | egrep -i '(sse|aes|rdrnd|rdseed|avx|bmi)' | sort #define __SSE__ 1 #define __SSE2__ 1 #define __SSE2_MATH__ 1 #define __SSE_MATH__ 1 $ g++ -march=native -dM -E - < /dev/null | egrep -i '(sse|aes|rdrnd|rdseed|avx|bmi)' | sort #define __AES__ 1 #define __AVX__ 1 #define __AVX2__ 1 #define __BMI__ 1 #define __BMI2__ 1 #define __core_avx2 1 #define __core_avx2__ 1 #define __RDRND__ 1 #define __RDSEED__ 1 #define __SSE__ 1 #define __SSE2__ 1 #define __SSE2_MATH__ 1 #define __SSE3__ 1 #define __SSE4_1__ 1 #define __SSE4_2__ 1 #define __SSE_MATH__ 1 #define __SSSE3__ 1 ======================================== Clang's configuration is causing self tests to fail.
