--------- test.cpp ---------
template <typename Tp>
class int_v4
{
    typedef Tp Tpv __attribute__((vector_size(4 * sizeof(Tp))));
    Tpv v;

    static Tpv shuffle(const int_v4& u1, const int_v4& u2, const int_v4& s) {
        return __builtin_shuffle(u1.v, u2.v, s.v); //segfault
    }

    Tpv shuffle2(const int_v4& u1, const int_v4& u2, const int_v4& s) {
        return __builtin_shuffle(v, v, v); //error if shuffle() is removed
    }
};

int main()
{
    int_v4<int> iv4;
    int_v4<unsigned int> uv4;
    return 0;
}

-----------

If: 

    typedef int Tp;

is added at the top and the lines with template stuff are removed then it compiles just fine but with the use of templates there is a segfault in shuffle() and if shuffle() is removed then there is: 

    "error: __builtin_shuffle last argument must be an integer vector" 

in shuffle2(). When compiling with GCC 4.7.2 (which is shipping with Ubuntu 12.10) then everything compiles, even if the line:
 
    int_v4<float> fv4; 

is added to main() (meaning that it was possible to pass non-integer vector as the last argument of __builtin_shuffle in GCC 4.7.2).

I'm guessing that the bug is somehow related to the presence/addition of error handling code. It looks like (I am not a GCC developer) GCC is trying to determine the type of the last argument before any variables using the template are even defined (they can be removed and the error message will still be there).
