the code check is:

if [ $ARCH = X86 -o $ARCH = X86_64 ] ; then
    if as_check ; then
        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DHAVE_MMX"
        if as_check "pabsw xmm0, xmm0" ; then
            ASFLAGS="$ASFLAGS -DHAVE_SSE3"
            CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DHAVE_SSE3"
        fi
    else
        echo "No suitable assembler found.  x264 will be several times
slower."
        echo "Please install 'yasm' to get MMX/SSE optimized code."
        AS=""
    fi
fi

so it may not support needed opcode, upgrade to latest yasm 0.6.1 or svn

You are right, but I'm not a x264 developer :D
there should be some docs around, but a compile
HOWTO wouldn't be so bad :D
