 First of all, please learn to write better mails. This should have been 
included in the first mail, together with a better mail subject. It's hard to 
do anything about a mail with a vague subject that omits the important parts.

 The build message says the function has a different propotype, so presumably 
this is not the header that is used. Apparently the Gerrit build uses an 
older GCC without 
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;f=gcc/config/i386/avx512fintrin.h;h=23bce99cbe7016a04e14c2163ed3fe6a5a64f4e2 . 
So you'll need to write a check for that.

 As for the HW statistics, LO is not used just on gamer's machines, so 
presumably Steam statistics do not quite apply. I recently checked based on 
LO crashreports and AVX is ~80% according to those. So please leave the SSE2 
version in.
