We changed from attribute ((vector_size(16))) to vector because xlc
doesn't support the attribute syntax.  However, as Trevor points out,
mainline GCC right now doesn't support vector by default, only 
__vector.

I have not tried whether xlc supports __vector as well; if it does,
I agree that we should use __vector in the newlib headers.
