I tried these on well:
a) make -sj8 -f Makefile.legacy linux-x86-64-xop
b) ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mxop" --disable-native-tests && make -sj8
Regardless whether autoconf'ed or using legacy Makefile, Jumbo produces
the "Sorry, XOP is required for this build". I also tried reverting to
the very same version as Kali 4.0.0 seem to have used and this still
works. But we've got reports from several places that it doesn't work
for AVX (with Jumbo, at least).
Could it be that the XOP check somehow works while the AVX one doesn't?
I have no way to test that. Do we have a machine somewhere that lacks AVX?
