Any GCC-compatible frontend — i.e. llvm-gcc, clang, or dragonegg — has vectors as a first-class type.  I wouldn't exactly laud any of GCC's various vector extensions as a sterling example of good language design, but if you're just looking for demonstrations of how to generate vector IR, that's where I'd start.
