GCC 6.3.0 has a known bug which related to _mm512_extracti64x4_epi64.
Please reference https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82887

Some DPDK PMD avx512 version heavily use _mm512_extracti64x4_epi6,
which casue building failure with debug buildtype.

Therefore, it's helpful to disable avx512 for GCC 6.3.0

Bugzilla ID: 717
Fixes: e6a6a138919f (net/i40e: add AVX512 vector path)
Fixes: 808a17b3c1e6 (net/ice: add Rx AVX512 offload path)
Fixes: 4b64ccb328c9 (net/iavf: fix VLAN extraction in AVX512 path)

What distro still has GCC 6.3.0?  
For example  Debian 9.x
Ok, thanks. Is there a bug fix in Debian LTS yet?
