Could it be that the problem only happens when including both cpuid.h and
intrin.h, because they both define __cpuid? (the configure check only
includes intrin.h)

My theory when I worked on the patch that Michael referenced in the
original email was that intrin.h is only for MSVC (for GCC at least,
__cpuidex is defined in cpuid.h).

I'm not sure how to get CI to run MinGW (it appears paused for me?), so I
can't test this myself easily.

But the relevant change would be to change "defined(HAVE__CPUIDEX)" to
"(defined(HAVE__CPUIDEX) && defined(_MSC_VER))" for the guard on both
intrin.h includes.

Thanks,
Lukas
