Did you not get this message from ./configure?

The native clang can do it though, so we do provide a trivial script
that goes to /usr/local/bin/as and that just calls clang instead. All
details are in doc/INSTALL. I'm not sure why autoconf did not end up
working (not using AVX), that's is a bug.

We have that too. IIRC --disable-native-macro turns off -march=native
and --disable-native-tests turns off all auto-probing so you can specify
custom CFLAGS however you want. But that 'as' wrapper script should be
the best solution in this case.
