Description

Improper CPU flags failing build in-spite of routines explicitly checking whether compiler supports those flags. Since pyarrow package in the pip has configuration errors, building from the source is the only option but the installation fails due to several issues, this being one of them.

Had to manually remove SSE4, AltiVec related flags from the DefineOptions.cmake & SetupCxxFlags.cmake to avoid this error in-spite of routines to check whether compiler can handle this flags.

There are other errors after doing this(they don't seem to be related to CPU flags, so I have opened separate issue).

Log is in the external issue URL.
