 From the error, nmmintrin.h contains built-in CPU calls that depend on 
the CPU having SSE4.2 extensions. You need to hunt down the call that is 
being executed and see which file is including nmmintrin.h. For example, 
I have encountered similar error on a CPU that does not have SSE4.1 and 
4.2 extension and it was trying to call the built-in HW crc hashing 
call. instead I switched with rte_jhash.h, the alternative SW 
implementation of the hashing call.

Looking below, nmmintrin.h is being included by the 
lib/librte_pmd_ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx_vec.c, from the looks of it. This means 
that your defconfig (did you use the default one?) has 
CONFIG_RTE_IXGBE_INC_VECTOR value set to "y". try setting it to "n" and 
see where the build would stop next looking for another SSE4.x based 
builtin call.

My ultimate recommendation is to update you CPU to a newer one or 
perform the build/run on a separate newer CPU.
