After upgrading libopenblas from 0.3.12-2 to 0.3.14-1,
octave 5.2.0 crashes on plot command in 64 bit environment.
In 32 bit cygwin (WoW64), this does not happen. Reverting
libopenblas to 0.3.12-1 resolve the issue.

octave:1> plot([])
fatal: caught signal Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...
Illegal instruction(core dumped)

My environment:
OS: Windows 10 20H2 (64 bit)
CPU: Inte Core i7 870 (Lynnfield)

[yano AT Express5800-S70 ~]$ cygcheck -c cygwin octave libopenblas
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               3.2.0-1        OK
libopenblas          0.3.14-1       OK
octave               5.2.0-1        OK

By starting octave-cli in gdb, it stops at vmovaps instruction
in gemm_(). IIUC, vmovaps is an AVX instruction which is not
supported by Core i7 870.

In another PC with Core i7-4790 which supports AVX, the issue
does not occur.
