You're probably using an older version of GCC. Try mainline or the
3.4 branch.

Have you set HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK to include your register class?

Can you try this on mainline? The error you're triggerring shouldn't
be triggered for your case, especially with the new synthesized vector
modes. And I don't have an old enough GCC to see what you're seeing.
