Failed to compile with Error: no such instruction

[giordano]

I'm trying to compile cp2k with Spack, and this depends on libxsmm, but the build apparently fails to compile valid ASM instructions. CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6140 CPU @ 2.30GHz, operating system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8.

Build log from spack, hope it's helpful

I'm getting similar errors building libxsmm 1.17 on a different cluster with AMD EPYC 7542 CPU (zen2, this time) on CentOS Linux 7.9.2009

New Spack build log

I saw the reference to this section of the README in the log of libxsmm, which suggests an outdated version of binutils as possible culprit, but I'm using GCC 10.2 with binutils 2.38:

$ echo 'int main(){}' | spack -e tmp/ build-env libxsmm@1.17 -- cc -Wl,-v -x c -

GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.38

Is binutils 2.38 (the latest version as of this writing) still too old?

Ok, I had to build also as in binutils, which in Spack is disabled by default (full spec is binutils+ld+gas)
