--- Comment #30 from Barto <mister.freeman at laposte.net> ---
I found the cause of this bug,

it's llvm 3.7.0, the llvm git commit who has introduced this bug is :

cd83d5b5071f072882ad06cc4b904b2d27d1e54a

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/commit/cd83d5b5071f072882ad06cc4b904b2d27d1e54a

the problem is that llvm 3.7.0 treats my pentium dual core as a "penryn",

penryn supports SSE4, but not the pentium dual core series ( CPU family 6 model
23 ),

the faulty commit has deleted a test about SSE4 :

return HasSSE41 ? "penryn" : "core2";

the solution is simply to add this test for CPU family 6 model 23, I created a
patch who solves this bug :

this patch has been sent to llvm's bugzilla, I hope they will accept it
