This is against version 3.10 which doesn't show on the "Version" field. The relevant log is: vex x86->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0xC5 0xF1 0xEF 0xC9 ==16952== valgrind: Unrecognised instruction at address 0x41b220b5. ==16952== at 0x41B220B5: _mm_unpacklo_epi8 (emmintrin.h:968) ==16952== by 0x41B220B5: fromLatin1_helper (qstring.cpp:3848) ==16952== by 0x41B220B5: QString::fromLatin1_helper(char const*, int) (qstring.cpp:3815) ==16952== by 0x41ACA677: QString (qstring.h:694) ==16952== by 0x41ACA677: QLibraryInfoPrivate::findConfiguration() (qlibraryinfo.cpp:111) ==16952== by 0x41ACA892: QLibrarySettings::QLibrarySettings() (qlibraryinfo.cpp:102) ==16952== by 0x41ACA93E: qt_library_settings() (qlibraryinfo.cpp:82) ==16952== by 0x41ACAC1F: configuration (qlibraryinfo.cpp:96) ==16952== by 0x41ACAC1F: QLibraryInfo::location(QLibraryInfo::LibraryLocation) (qlibraryinfo.cpp:242) ==16952== by 0x41BE9BE1: QCoreApplication::libraryPaths() (qcoreapplication.cpp:2502) ==16952== by 0x41BEA45B: QCoreApplication::init() (qcoreapplication.cpp:778) ==16952== by 0x41BEA658: QCoreApplication::QCoreApplication(QCoreApplicationPrivate&) (qcoreapplication.cpp:667) ==16952== by 0x425CD91F: QApplication::QApplication(int&, char**, int) (qapplication.cpp:740) GDB disassembly says: 1: x/i 0x41B220B5 0x41b220b5 <QString::fromLatin1_helper(char const*, int)+117>: vpxor %xmm1,%xmm1,%xmm1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

That is an AVX512 instruction, or at least uses EVEX encoding, which means it is dependent on AVX512 support being added. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 383010 ***
Scratch that I'm talking nonsense - that is VEX encoding.
