When enabling avx optimisations on a sandy bridge processor with gcc-4.6, valgrind complains of illegal instruction: 0xC5 0xF9 0x6F 0x5 0x1 0x2 0x0 0x0


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I write the following simple fortran program
=====valgrind_avx.f90======
program main
 implicit none
  integer,parameter:: n=16
  integer          :: ii(n)
  ii=1
  print*,ii
  return
end program
=============================

compile with avx opts and run valgrind on it
$ gfortran-4.6 -g -march=corei7-avx -O3 valgrind_avx.f90
$ valgrind ./a.out

==2358== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind
==2358== did not recognise.  There are two possible reasons for this.
==2358== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
==2358==    location.  If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
==2358==    warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
==2358== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
==2358==    i.e. it's Valgrind's fault.  If you think this is the case or
==2358==    you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
==2358== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
==2358== probably kill your program.

Expected Results:  
Same as I get when I compile instead with
$ gfortran-4.6 -g -march=corei7 -O3 valgrind_avx.f90
