I don't know if it would even be possible to run AVX code from 32bit,
but yes, the three reports so far have been from 64bit systems.

There is no configure option for that when producing a fat binary.  I
guess the GMP folks didn't test it on Cygwin on a system where that code
is actually used.  Haswell and IvyBridge also use some AVX bits, but
apparently nothing that bugs out (or nobody has found it yet).

Achim.
