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.
