You're getting the "Illegal instruction" error because your systems do not support SSE2. In order to
fix a rounding bug that was making some of their automated unit tests fail they started using SSE2
instead of the x87 for floating point math. If you modify the build system (to remove the call to gcc)
and build it yourself it'll work.
