Please back that out until you have an understand of what the real
problem is...  I'm sad that the commit was approved w/o bothering to
attempt to figure out the problem...

Sounds like you don't have the latest in-tree gcc... I've been
compiling the AES module w/ the in tree gcc for a while..  This is
w/ the changes in r255185...

I'll strongly object to this change...

Nope, in-tree...  Sounds like you haven't installed the latest version
of gcc in tree...

It could be a problem with a bad interaction w/ delete-old as glebius
added the wmmintrin.h header to the delete-old target in r255354...

I'll take a closer look at this in the morning, but next time please
attempt to contact the author before taking such actions...
