I've a test case to produces this using apple branch
based on 4.0 code base. But it does not compile with
4.1. We will get to it but right now still struggling
with gcc-4.0 conversion ;-) Altivec support does not look
good in 4.1 branch, at first glance. Obviously there
are differences regarding what is considered valid
altivec code between FSF and Apple implementation,
however simple -save-temps does not seem to work.

Should I go ahead and check-in this patch now ?

Thanks,
