Thinking about this further I think this is not gcc's responsibility since 
operator new (or malloc) are library functions and those know nothing of the 
alignment restrictions of the underlying type, right?

So the correct thing to do is to overload operator new/new[]/delete/delete[] 
in my classes an let them return
_mm_malloc(size, 16);
and respectively call
_mm_free(ptr);
. Did I get this right, now?
