FWIW, as discussed in here before, downgrading did not help in my case,
but setting OS_TIMER to 0 did.

I think magnum has since set OS_TIMER to 0 in x86-64.h, but not in
x86-sse.h.  We need to change that to only set OS_TIMER to 0 when
building with OpenCL support with AMD SDK specifically (since OS_TIMER 1
is preferable when we can have it), but to do it from both header files.
