--- Comment #2 from Carl Love <cel at us dot ibm.com> ---
I investigated the issue using GCC 6.1. The t1() function from file
recip-vec-sqrtf.c file is as follows:
void t1(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
r[i] = a[i] / sqrtf (b[i]);
}
The assembly code being generated for the loop using the options specified in
the bug plus -S to generate the assembly code results in the following
-O2 -ffast-math -ftree-vectorize -mcpu=power7 -mrecip -fno-common -S
.file "recip-vec-sqrtf.c"
.section ".toc","aw"
.section ".text"

The expected vector instructions are there. It does not appear that any scalar
instructions are being generated for the computation as implied in the
bugzilla.
The other loops for the test cases in attachment 36938 are similar in that they
appear to only be generating the expected vector instructions. The bugzilla
was filed before GCC 6 was released. It appears the issue has since been
fixed.
