Looks like it's better and more clear if a new specific avx head file is added.
Just want to understand more about the problem. I don't see the same problem when using 'gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC)', don't understand why -mavx2 is missing.
And more, if so, why the avx2 code doesn't meet the same problem?
Thanks.
