This sample works fine for me in OSX. It's completely broken
under my Debian/ppc stable. Apparently even in linux,
pointer are aligned on a 16 bytes boundary and strides
are multiple of 16, but I didn't have the time to check
in details, so I may have missed a vector.

This starts looking like a broken compiler to me ; the hadamard
functions were known to be broken with some fsf-gcc and are
disabled in non-darwin OSes already :-(
