I am quite sure the configure script gave you useful explanations
what you should do - why do you ignore them?
I at least would like to know what collect2 was unhappy about,
or actually: I need it to be able to answer your question.

Unrelated:
You need either yasm or nasm, yasm does not support
AVX-512 (which so far you don't want to use).
You cannot use both.
