Is it possible to declare an array that is 16 byte aligned using C with GCC 
and ld ?

It is necessary to have arrays 16 byte aligned in order to use the movaps 
(instead of movups which is much slower) and it would be better to be able 
to declare the arrays in C instead of in assembly then declaring as extern.

Thanks,
Chris
