auto-vectorization

[James Cloos]

What is the status of the auto-vectorization support in 4.0?

I grabbed the latest snapshot yesterday and tried compiling asterisk¹
with it.  (Incidently, before I found -ftree-vectorize in the docs,
the 4.0-compiled codecs were slower as shown by asterisk's show
translations command than the 3.4.2-compiled codecs.)  However, with
the -ftree-vectorize option the compiled crapped out when compiling
certain of the codecs with an internal compiler error.

Before working on a proper bug report, I wanted to find out whether
the code is supposed to be functional, has any know issues, etc.
Ie whether such a report is desired.
