See <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/> for instructions
The builtin generates the 'CODE_FOR_altivec_lvx_v4si_2op' instruction which
returns CODE_FOR_nothing resulting in Segmentation fault.
The pattern 'CODE_FOR_altivec_lvx_v4si_2op' was introduced by the following
patch I believe,
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-04/msg01110.html
The pattern tests for TARGET_64BIT and the testcase passes for powerpc64,
however fails for 32-bit targets. This passed in GCC-6 and earlier branches.
Should we modify the testcase so it runs only for 64-bit targets,
or should this builtin work for 32-bit targets as well?
