With the new AVX512F kernels, we need at least gcc7 to compile the code. Anything older will likely result in compile failure (gcc 6.4.0 fails because of a compiler bug).
Describe the solution you'd like
The easiest solution would be to either ask the user to use a later version of the compiler, or failing that, turn off avx512f support by adding -mno-avx512f to CFLAGS (in common.mk)
