For further occasions: this sort of postings are more appropriate for
john-users rather than john-dev, even if your intent is trying to help
JtR development by providing the problem reports (thanks!)

This is an instruction from the BMI1 set, added with Haswell:

No. The problem is that your gcc is more capable than your assembler.
Your gcc recognized your newer CPU and generated code for it, but your
assembler (coming from OS X) can't translate it into opcodes.
We'll keep seeing this problem in various contexts, for various
instruction set extensions on various archs, as long as we use the
-march=native option to gcc. There's no good solution. Maybe we need a
documented workaround, though - e.g., "remove -march=native or replace
it with a specific option requesting an older architecture revision such
as -mavx, or upgrade your assembler". Maybe we need a configure option
disabling use of -march=native, or do we already have that? magnum?
