Hello,
Currently MinGW64 cant generate proper code with AVX / AVX2 on Windows 64 Bit 
due to alignment issues.

Is there a plan to fix this significant issue in the near term?

Reference:

1. Code for Reproduction - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30926241.
2. Previous Discussion - 
https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/34485783/.
3. Comment on the issue snot being Windows' fault - 
https://stackoverflow.com/a/30929086/195787.
4. Sleef - Open Source Project which can't offer MinGW comptability due to this 
issue - https://github.com/shibatch/sleef/issues/172#issuecomment-367338219.

This issue is a rel problem for anyone generating code with intense number 
crunching which is a usually big motivation for using GCC.
I'd guess many scientists will be happy if it is solved.

Thank You.
