--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
In the end this is because of the unfortunate way we handle vector indexing
(I think we have similar PRs elsewhere where I pasted patches to address this).
The common convert_vector_to_pointer_for_subscript is the culprit here where
we should instead simply convert the vector to an array via a
VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR.
