Since the primary focus here was the build error, I am not sure whether
I made sure nothing else was running in parallel.
So for this mail, I was a bit more careful.

Here is the output of building generic on john-1.7.9 (core), OS Fedora
16, Linux kernel version 3.4.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE #1 SMP, gcc (GCC) 4.6.3

So, sse, mmx and any are similar, generic is disappointing.
That looks like there is something wrong with build generic (or with
bench.c).

For latest git, I'll just compare sse2, any and generic.
But I'll have to postpone it until later today.
