Hi Frank, Stefan,

> I am not certain, but I'd assume yes. I used AVX in a JIT many years ago
in an experimental project. I see no reason why AVX2 wouldn't be available
in ORC.

I agree: ORC really only touches the compiler to set it up, so as long as
the target machine is set up correctly this should "Just Work".

It might be worth stepping through the call to createTargetMachine in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/76a1a415302d06ceb4a3358493e897e98dd75f77/llvm/lib/ExecutionEngine/Orc/JITTargetMachineBuilder.cpp#L51
to see whether the CPU and AVX feature flags are being handled as expected.
