Sorry for not explaining clearly.
For gcc version start from version 4.4, x86intrin.h will be include, and inside x86intrin.h, immintrin.h will be directly include without check AVX (as I know, AVX is not exist when gcc >= 4.4),so no AVX macro does not mean vector disable.
Only gcc < 4.4 and no macro AVX will disable vector.
This is my understanding, may be wrong :)
Thanks,
Michael
