The compiler used doesn't seem to define the stuff we expect it to.
Can you try with SVN r36299 and see if that fixes it?

After applying patch r36299 build failed:

cpudetect.c: In function 'check_os_katmai_support':
cpudetect.c:186:31: error: 'sigill_handler_sse' undeclared (first use in this function)

signal( SIGILL, (void (*)(int))sigill_handler_sse );

cpudetect.c:186:31: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make: * [cpudetect.o] Error 1

compiler version:
gcc version 4.8.0 20130526 (Red Hat 4.8.0-8) (GCC)

Well, on the positive side that means I correctly identified the cause.
r36300 should hopefully work for real.

Thanks, last commit fixes build and CPU detection.
