Manually running the tests shows that they all crash in
prng_rand_128_r (utils-prng.h:138):

> uint32x4 e = x->a - ((x->b << 27) + (x->b >> (32 - 27)));

which is code inside an #ifdef GCC_VECTOR_EXTENSIONS_SUPPORTED block.

I realize this may be a gcc bug, so I tested with 4.8.1 and 4.7.2 and
got the same results. Testing with 4.6.3 leads to only a single
failure, in matrix-test (with a different backtrace, so probably
different).

Do we need some kind of configure check to make sure that our use of
gcc's vector extensions is actually going to work?
