Comment(by carter):

 ok, looks like i've not been able to use gcc to generate AVX code period,

 it looks like I might be able to use gcc to generate .s and then use clang
 as the assembler, but there some oddities that make me worried that its
 not actually correct, but i'll look at it when i'm better rested
