No, in OSX 10.9.5, the native 'as' can't even do AVX while clang can do
AVX, AVX2 and BMI. The above message should show (and now also revert
the build to -msse4.1 which as supports), and copying that wrapper
script to /usr/local/bin/as and have it preceed /usr/bin in PATH should
fix the problem and enable all features.
I just tried building (using that wrapper script) with
./configure CFLAGS="-mavx2 -mbmi -O2" --disable-native-tests
with no problems (although I can't run the resulting binary on this
machine).
