Interesting.  So it looks like configure *did* decide that -msse4.2
is needed.  What do you get from "grep sse4 src/Makefile.global" ?
What I'd expect is

CFLAGS_SSE42 = -msse4.2
PG_CRC32C_OBJS = pg_crc32c_sse42.o pg_crc32c_sb8.o pg_crc32c_choose.o

If you see that, then the next question is why CFLAGS_SSE42 isn't
getting propagated into the build of pg_crc32c_sse42.o, which would
seem to suggest a problem with gmake.  What make version are you
using?
