The messages in neon.md are not internal errors, they are errors for bad operands to intrinsics. Those errors cannot be given until after some optimization, since the exepcted use of the built-in functions is that the constant operands are passed to inline functions in arm_neon.h which in turn pass them to the built-in functions, so the error condition can only be detected after inlining; before inlining the operands aren't constant so can't be tested to see whether they are in range. Though having a way to give those errors a bit earlier (but still with fully optimized operands) would probably allow those error messages to have more meaningful locations, if nothing else. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40884
