Well well, something happened here!! This bug does not affect me anymore; Now

with or without your patch the above example code works just fine! I even tried

crypto++ which I had problem with in the past but it works fine too.



# uname -a

FreeBSD 13x17.localhost 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #0: Sat Sep 29

20:53:22 IRST 2012     babaei@13x17.localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC 

amd64



Two days ago I upgraded my system to 9-STABLE branch (a development branch),

looks like the FreeBSD folks implemented AVX support into thier kernel.



Hopefully I kept the old kernel. I rebuilt GCC 4.7 with your patch (GCC 4.6.4

is my system wide GCC and I'll won't mess with that one).

Then I booted to the old kernel and rebuilt the above example code and, hell

yeah!! Your patch does the job, the program finished normally with 'Hello,

World!' printed out on screen (Note: with old kernel without your patch, it

still get killed by SIGILL).



Since this is a development branch and is not out yet I believe your patch is

still relevant. Because out there 9.0, 8.3 and 7.4 is being used by people.  



And one more thing. Your patch is little different from my 'driver-i386.c' file

(gcc-4.7-20120929) and my patch command failed to merge it. I merged your patch

manually which is attached.
