preprocessed source
Compiling the attached program with optimization and AVX for Win64 generates an
illegal instruction. The same code runs correctly on Win32 and on Linux64.

gcc version 4.6.3 20120225 (prerelease) (GCC)
I have also tried the mingw64 cross compiler from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Automated%20Builds/
gcc version 4.8.0 20120509 (experimental) (GCC)
and I get the same error (though I need to use -O3)
If I download an older version,
gcc version 4.5.4 20111030 (prerelease) [svn/rev.180676 - mingw-w64/oz] (GCC)
then I don't get the illegal instruction.
