Re: [altivec] patch for gcc.dg/altivec-5.c

	I actually would like to discuss this more.  The question is
whether this change should be applied to all of the macro, instead of just
the Altivec case.

	The Altivec case only allows offsets that are zero.  Segher's
patch allows any offset when strict addressing is not enforced.

	A few other ports allow any constant for offsettable addresses
prior to strict addressing.  If this is the correct change, we should make
the change consistently and not just individually for Altivec.
