Depends on: 339596
Lets split the fma4 and xop instructions into separate bugs & patches.
(I have already looked at the fma4 ones, but haven't had time for the xop
instructions.)
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #339596 +++
When running valgrind upon program startup I immediately run into an illegal
instruction. My first action was to try using the latest source from SVN, this
however, did not help. Below are a few extra details on the instruction in
question, my system, and anything else I can think of.

I've run it through GDB and grabbed a disassembly output (More can be provided
if requested):

My system CPU is an AMD FX-8150, and Qt (where the instruction seems to
originate) is compiled with GCC 4.8. I am running a Gentoo based system and
have used -march=native, -O2, and -fomit-frame-pointer as my only three default
CFLAGS.
If it helps I can setup a VM with SSH access temporarily to aid in
testing/debugging of the problem. However, for sanity sake I will only do this
Valgrind developers.
My final observersations seem to be that the XOP and FM4 instructions
introduced in the bulldozer generation AMD processors seem to cause the most
trouble. But that may be beyond the scope of this bug report.
Reproducible: Always
