Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to mention where to find the AVX2-enabled newer
version of gcc on that machine.  You need to do:

export PATH=~gcc/gcc-4.9.2/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~gcc/gcc-4.9.2/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The version of binutils on well might not support all of the
instructions that recent gcc may generate for that platform, but in
practice it's been sufficient for us so far.

Why would the vfmadd312sd instruction appear in code generated for
POMELO?  This is a floating-point instruction.  Do you possibly
inadvertently use floating-point math somewhere in your code?
