These are especially comical, because the "8" is really supposed to
be "real_type_class" from gcc/typeclass.h, but then if you look at
typeclass.h and imagine people trying to use it for anything, well
it's ROTFL time.

With a __builtin_choose_type, we can flush __builtin_classify_type
and its attendant junk (including an AltiVec change, thus bringing
things full circle :-) ).
