Here is my test program;

     byte32 b32;

Compiling using DMD on x64 windows 7 (Xeon E5-2630) prints the 
error message;
------ Build started: Project: dtest, Configuration: Debug x64 
------
Building Debug\dtest.exe...
Error: AVX vector types not supported
Building Debug\dtest.exe failed!

Compiling on debian 7 x64 (Xeon E3-1270v2) with dmd prints this 
error message;

Error: AVX vector types not supported

Both CPUs do have AVX instruction set;

It's not supported by DMD. You need to use GDC or LDC to get the most
