Hi,
I encountered the problem in version 5.4.0, then installed 6.2.0, and it's
still the same. Details below and test case attached.

As shown, code compiled with -march=native is 3x slower. All outputs are
identical, so it is solely a performance issue. Adding -O3 isn't very helpful.

The code is an old, single-threaded F77 program calculating crystal potentials.
Profiler shows that almost all the time is spent in subroutine MTZ.
