I was fooled by that too. The /usr/bin/cpuid program is not the same as the
gcc cpuid.h calls. I inserted debugging code and found that the %ecx
register still had its part of the vendor string 'auls' in it (from
'CentaurHauls') from the earlier call to cpuid() with eax = 0.

I posted a patch to the gcc-patches mailing list.
