I'm not that familiar with cygwin, but you might need the -msse2 flag
to tell the compiler that you actually have vector hw available,
otherwise it'll use x87 only. You might want -mfpmath=sse too just to
make sure it doesn't waste time moving stuff between sse and x87 regs
(though I suspect your benchmark should be safe). And with
-ftree-vectorizer-verbose=5 you might get some additional info about
what the vectorizer is doing.

As for the patch itself, now that everything is done inline, can't one
get rid of gfc_resolve_dot_product entirely, or does it still do
something useful?
