Looks like the problem is in $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/configure2, on lines 1105 and 1110 specifically. I’ve compiled with those two lines, changing -xHost to -xSSE3 and setting SSE_TYPES to SSE4.1,SSE4.2 before configure and that appears to have worked. I couldn’t swear that it’s bothering to invoke the SSE4.1/4.2 instructions on the hosts (I can probably check with Intel for how to figure it out), but at least I’ve theoretically got something workable.
