Preprocessed source

GCC 5.1 miscompiles the attached file.  The POWER-specific vector swap
optimization doesn't recognize a vector extract pattern because it's hidden
inside a parallel with a clobber.  As a result it doesn't adjust the lane to be
extracted.  I'm working on a patch to detect this case and fix it up.

This is probably miscompiled by the latest 4.8 and 4.9 base code as well, since
the swap optimization was backported recently.  I have not yet verified this,
though.  It could be that this pattern is not created for those releases.
