New issue by gt7-void on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/29604

Description:
The cpu is a [xeon E5520](https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/40200/intel-xeon-processor-e5520-8m-cache-2-26-ghz-5-86-gt-s-intel-qpi.html) (nehalem EP)
The following short program shows the issue:
```
#include "cblas.h"

int main ()
{
        double a[4] = {1.,2.,3.,4.};
        double b[4] = {4.,3.,2.,1.};
        double c[4];
        cblas_dgemm(CblasRowMajor, CblasNoTrans,CblasNoTrans,2,2,2,1., a,2,b,2,0.,c,2);
        if ( (c[0]!=8.) && (c[1]!=5.) && (c[2]!=20.) && (c[3]!=13))
                return -1;
        else
                return 0;
}
```

Compile and run with
```
$ gcc test-blas.c -I /usr/include/openblas -lopenblas -o test-blas
$ ./test-blas 
Illegal instruction
```

debugging shows the fault is in `cblas_dgemm ()` from `/usr/lib/libopenblas.so.0`, more precisely at `cblas_dgemm+20`:
```
   0x00007ffff6427d80 <+0>:     push   %r15
   0x00007ffff6427d82 <+2>:     mov    %edx,%r10d
   0x00007ffff6427d85 <+5>:     push   %r14
   0x00007ffff6427d87 <+7>:     push   %r13
   0x00007ffff6427d89 <+9>:     push   %r12
   0x00007ffff6427d8b <+11>:    push   %rbp
   0x00007ffff6427d8c <+12>:    push   %rbx
   0x00007ffff6427d8d <+13>:    sub    $0xa8,%rsp
=> 0x00007ffff6427d94 <+20>:    vmovsd %xmm0,0x8(%rsp)
   0x00007ffff6427d9a <+26>:    mov    0xe0(%rsp),%rdx
   0x00007ffff6427da2 <+34>:    mov    0xf0(%rsp),%r11
   0x00007ffff6427daa <+42>:    vmovsd %xmm1,(%rsp)
   0x00007ffff6427daf <+47>:    mov    0x100(%rsp),%rax
   0x00007ffff6427db7 <+55>:    mov    %fs:0x28,%rbx
```

Instruction is `vmovsd` -- I guess not available in this cpu (how would I know? is this avx? if so, how did this instruction end up there?)

Here are my cpuflags:
```
