All of those seemed to be referencing _mm_alignr_epi8 which is part of 
Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3).

So you have to check GCC man page, docs, and code, to make sure whatever flag 
required for enabling Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) 
instructions is present or the intrinsic function implementations (which get 
stubbed out to the assembly trampoline for the instruction named) will not 
exist.

Personally, the fact that the intrinsics don't come with a default software 
implementation that raises a compile warning is one of my top hatreds 
associated with the use of these instructions. I've spent hours on issues like 
this w/ my DPDK app...
