If you have git, does the version you get from:
git init gromacs.dev && cd gromacs.dev && git fetch
https://gerrit.gromacs.org/gromacs refs/changes/54/1854/1 && git checkout
FETCH_HEAD

fix this issue?

As far as I know you have two options:
- You can get the none free Intel ICC.
- You can use gcc (ideally 4.7). I have tried only the one from MacPorts.
But the version from MacPorts uses an assembler which doesn't support AVX.
You need to work around that as described here:
