herdtools7 has recently been heavily restructured.
On the performance regression, I must defer to Luc.
Luc, do you have any idea?

These errors suggest the klitmus7 you used is version 7.52 or some such.
You said you have built herd7 from the source. Have you also built klitmus7?
The up-to-date klitmus7 should generate code compatible with Linux 5.6.x.
Could you try with the latest one?
Thanks, Akira
