How do you do inline assembly with vector types in GCC?

I'm trying to port some MSVC++ SSE2 inline assembler to GCC and am playing
with a code fragment to see if I can move stuff in and out of vectors as
follows:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
char sse2_array[16] __attribute__((aligned(16)));
unsigned long p;
  p = 10;
  printf("%d \n", p);
  sse2_array[0] = 1;
  sse2_array[2] = 2;
  printf("%d %d\n", sse2_array[0], sse2_array[1]);
  asm("pxor %xmm0, %xmm0");
  asm("movdqa %xmm0, %0;"
      :"=r"(sse2_array));
  printf("%d \n", p);
  return 0;

}

I get the following message when I try to do this:

gcc mike.c
mike.c: In function `main':
mike.c:12: incompatible types in assignment

Anyone have an easy way to do this?
