--- Comment #3 from Øystein Schønning-Johansen <oysteijo at gmail dot com> --- Hmmmmmm...... I think the problem may be the runtime library and not the assembler as I assumed. The main problem is that the OS is to old for the hardware: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.8 (Tikanga) $ uname -a Linux st-test-hp-z820 2.6.18-308.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 27 17:17:51 EST 2012 x8 6_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Here's a test program: $ cat avxtest.c #include <stdio.h> #include <cpuid.h> int main() { unsigned int eax = 1, ebx, ecx, edx; __get_cpuid( 1, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx ); printf("AVX: %s\n", ( ecx & bit_AVX ) ? "YES!" : "Sorry." ); return 0; } $ gcc -o avxtest avxtest.c && ./avxtest AVX: YES! But then: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags | tail -1 flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx pdpe1gb rd tscp lm constant_tsc ida nonstop_tsc arat pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 sss e3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt lahf_lm No AVX on that list.....?

Could it be something incompatible to the runtime libraries: $ ldd mytest linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffe6dfd000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000355e800000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000355e400000) Thanks, -Øystein -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
