bug#48373: vice: processor dependency?

[Christopher Howard]

Hi, when I install vice from guix, and attempt to run a ROM, I get this
error, and the GUI does not launch:

Illegal instruction

However, if I pull the source with `guix -S vice', create a build
environment with `guix environment vice', and build it myself (with
./configure --prefix=/home/christopher/local --disable-pdf-docs) and
then run the ROM, vice GUI opens up and the ROM runs without trouble.

As a guess, I suspect your build made use of some advanced multimedia
CPU flag not available on my computer.

I am not very knowledgeable in C debugging, but gdb gave this
backtrace:

Thread 10 "x64sc" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
