I see, thanks. In other words, as it turns out my suggestion about
run-time switch does not apply in this case, because minimum of SSE2 is
actually *assumed* for x86_64 platform. And this doesn't hold true for
Knights Corner. But it does hold true for Knights Landing, doesn't it? I
see no point in attempting to accommodate assembler support for Knights
Corner (too rare processor) and would appreciate if you could confirm if
following works with 1.0.2:

./Configure linux-x86_64-icc no-asm -mmic

BTW, _lrotl fix is applied to 1.0.1, but not earlier versions, which are
open for security fixes only.
