Use what would be your _only_ option (conceptually, not in implementation
of course) if you didn't use inline asm:
MANGLE and change DECLARE_ALIGNED to DECLARE_ASM_CONST
There's also the option of a gcc bug report, I have some doubts that is
a valid optimization (though there are constraints to make gcc load
directly into a xmm register, but both that and the current code have
needlessly unpredictable performance).
