The testcase in PR 15106 manages to show major problems with
powerpc-linux vector function calls.

Gee, we're just upportting a change from 3.3 to handle more than 8(?) vector arguments in non-stdarg functions, and where they spill into memory so that it conforms to the moto altivec ABI. We changed it to use two passes. Are others interested in actually following the moto ABI or are we alone in this regard?
