Thanks for this hint.

I tried, and its a negative. I'm quite new to the usage of builtins and 
I oriented myself using gcc style __builtins. Especially 
__builtin_ia32_mulpd(()), __builtin_ia32_addpd(()). The aim is to add, 
mul, div and sub two 64 Bit doubles residing in a 128 Bit xmm register; 
by doing this, a struct contains two unions, each 128 bit, to simulate a 
4d vector, so I' capable of adding, multiplying etc. vectors using the 
SIMD units. It seems that there is a more 'sophisticated' way than 
simply apllying the __builtin assembly equivalences.
