Hi Takashi,

Thanks for that lead.  It appears the Makefile.am change didn't make it into the 
commit for the getclip update.  I'll remedy this shortly.

I compiled the package with gcc 10.2.0 using the default options.  Let me 
investigate further to find some kind of solution for the AVX usage, likely by 
using more/different gcc options.
Thanks again,

..mark
