165	Binutils too old to support AVX2	Dave Yeo		"While GCC reports AVX2 is available,
{{{
# gcc -mavx2 -dM -E - < /dev/null | egrep ""AVX"" | sort
#define __AVX__ 1
#define __AVX2__ 1
}}}
AS errors out when compiling AVX2 code, eg from flac git head,
{{{
R:/tmp/ccwvrScM.s:8773: Error: operand type mismatch for `vpsrlq'
R:/tmp/ccwvrScM.s:8778: Error: no such instruction: `vpermd %ymm1,%ymm5,%ymm0'
R:/tmp/ccwvrScM.s:8859: Error: operand type mismatch for `vpmovzxdq'
}}}

Our binutils version 2.21 is close to 5 years old and Paul's newest release is binutils v2.25 2015-01-08.
