--- Comment #13 from Steven Munroe <munroesj at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
"We want to use plain TImode instead of V1TImode on newer cpus."

Actually I disagree. We have vector __int128 in the ABI and with POWER10 a
complete set arithmetic operations for 128-bit in VRs.

Also this issue is not restricted to TImode. It also effects _Float128
(KFmode), _ibm128 (TFmode) and Libmvec for vector float/double. The proper and
optimum handling of these "union transfers" has been broken in GCC for years.

And I have grave reservations about the vague plans of small/fringe minority to
subset the PowerISA for their convenience.
