CLBlast: Incompatibility with the last Intel NEO drivers

I am using CLBlast on a bunch of Ubuntu 18 machines. I am using a manual installation, not the Ubuntu packages.

Everything was working fine for weeks, then I have updated the NEO drivers and it’s now crashing with the following error (same for Axpy, Gemv, Gemm, etc):

OpenCL compiler error/warning:
In file included from <built-in>:2:
CTHeader.h:6913:7: error: use of type 'intel_sub_group_avc_mce_payload_t' requires cl_intel_device_side_avc_motion_estimation extension to be enabled
      intel_sub_group_avc_mce_payload_t payload );

(the error appears many times with different line and column numbers)

Previous version:

Device Version    OpenCL 2.1 NEO
Driver Version    19.05.12254
Device OpenCL C Version    OpenCL C 2.0

Current version:

Device Version    OpenCL 2.1 NEO 
Driver Version    19.16.12873
Device OpenCL C Version    OpenCL C 2.0

Also, the extension cl_intel_device_side_avc_motion_estimation seems to be there (though reported as missing):
