Just for the record, I did get this fixed.  I changed to using
"--arch=c3-2" for the Via C3v2 processor on my motherboard.  The
configure script said something about that not being a valid option and
disabling the "--march" option.  I guess it compiled without any
cpu-based optimizations, and that is why it worked.
