But 

static const vector signed short test4[4] =
{
    (vector signed short){1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8},
    (vector signed short){11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18},
    (vector signed short){21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28},
    (vector signed short){31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38}
};

does. This should be fixed anyhow as it's fairly simple to get wrong
and the warning is sort of confusing, not to mention that the
behaviour is not really sensible (at least to me).
