I am not sure if the AVX instruction set is being used or not, but this evening I am running tests on a quad core Opteron 6282 SE system running OpenIndiana.

I am using GNU 'as' from binutils 2.22 and GCC 4.7.0 (both built from source). Unfortunately, I am finding that programs using the -march=bdver1 architecture request will core dump due to "illegal instruction" when requested to do more than the most trivial thing. For example, a short help message will succeed while a more verbose one will cause a core dump. This happens for both 32 bit and 64-bit binaries.

If -march=barcelona is requested then the programs work fine.

Is there anything in the kernel or run-time environment which might be causing this problem?
