Hmm, I would have expected config.guess to 
return ivybridge-unknown-linux-gnu.

In config.guess, if you look for the string ivybridge, you'll find a C 
program that determines your processor type from variables family, model, 
cpuid_64bit, cpu_64bit, cpu_avx, etc. It would help if you could print 
those variables and send us the result.

By the way, I hope you are not using any virtualization / emulation? Those 
tend to mess with CPU identification.
