Comment (by carter):

 @jan,
 the -mavx2 and -mavx512* flags are currently unused in practice. They
 SHOULD NOT be documented in a user facing way till they actually do
 anything meaningful. Which they currently dont in practice.

 wrt -msse4.2, austin has generalized things so that GHC now has proper
 -march etc style flags afaict, the msse4.2 stuff should be there afaik
