A vector and an array are not treated the same. So your example
is actually not quite equivalent. And this is the reason behind
the first part of my analysis that said we need to both check
TYPE_CODE_ARRAY *and* the TYPE_VECTOR flag.

You'll also note that I explicitly made sure that gnu_vectors.exp
still passes for me, and so I'm fairly sure that the "similar C test"
you cooked up above still works as well. But if you could give my patch
a try on Solaris to double-check (eg: by running gnu_vector.exp after
applying it), that would be a second confirmation.
