8.4 - libgcrypt won't build, complains about xgetbv missing from assembler

[Damien Fleuriot]

For what it's worth, managed to solve the problem by :

- changing CPU type from KVM (it's a virtual machine) to Host (Xeon)
- rebuilding kernel-toolchain
- rebuilding kernel
- rebuilding world
- reinstalling kernel + world
- rebuilding port
