As explained in bug 1111355, having avx enabled appears to change the
alignment behavior of alloca (apparently adding an extra 16 bytes) of
padding/alignment (and using 32-byte alignment instead of 16-byte). The
suggestion of using __bultin_alloca_with_align in bug 1111355 didn't fix
the problem, so this seems to be the best available workaround, given
that this code, which should perhaps better be written in assembly, is
written in C++.
Interestingly, this is NOT fixed by #pragma GCC target ("arch=x86-64").
(I determined the (undocumented) name for the default -march value on
x86_64 from the gcc source code (gcc/config/i386/i386.c, function
ix86_option_override_internal, code that sets opts->x_ix86_arch_string .)
I confirmed that this sets the same macros based on the empty diff
between the output of 'gcc -E -dM -x c++ /dev/null' and 'gcc -E -dM -x
c++ -march=x86-64 /dev/null', which was not an empty diff for other
-march values (e.g., k8).)
I confirmed that the push_options and pop_options actually work by
putting the push/pop pair around a different (earlier) function, and
testing that this did not fix the bug (with the pop_options before
NS_InvokeByIndex).
