I believe that the problem with changing this unconditionally is that
the Altivec programming guidelines specify the rules which gcc
currently follows: you are permitted to assign one vector variable to
another, without an explicit cast, when the vectors are the same size.
So please check the Altivec programming manual.

Will do, thanks.
