This is a known issue, and also affects release-4-6 branch, but only
with Mac OS X + gcc from MacPorts (possibly from other sources as
well). See http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/1021 for some discussion.
Basically, gcc from MacPorts is using a very old assembler, which does
not support AVX instructions. With this information, Google should
give some hacks to replace the GNU assembler with, e.g., the one that
Apple clang is using.
