Assembler syntax error for movdqa, pminub, pmaxub in binutils 2.18

["Thrall, Bryan" <bryan dot thrall at flightsafety dot com>]

I am trying to compile someone else's code (see attached file for simple
testcase) and am very unfamiliar with assembly. With binutils
2.18.50.20080523 (as reported by 'as --version'), I get the following
error, but with binutils 2.17.50.20060817 I do not:

$ gcc -march=pentium4 -masm=intel -O3 -c bug.c

I am compiling in Cygwin on an Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 (uname reports
i686):

Any help getting this to compile (extra command line flags? did the
assembly syntax change between these version?) is much appreciated.
