It's a library test (that inclusion of the header and making function 
calls works), not a compiler test.

No, what I suggest is entirely an API test (with variants for building a 
shared library instead of an executable, etc. - probably built several 
times with different vector instruction set options), not an ABI test.  
Testing the interfaces in the way that a normal user program would use 
them, i.e. via the normal math.h APIs in code that happens to be 
vectorizable.
