I think most testcases should just pass with SSE2.

Yes. It needs to return zero, otherwise some qsort will endlessly
swap two same elements.

BIT_FIELD_REF is quite unconstrained, you could build a testcase
for the GIMPLE frontend quite easily. Note that the first reassoc
runs before vector lowering so vector code written via vector
extensions does not necessarily have target support but will be lowered
later.

A POLY_CONST_INT is also "constant" in some sense ;)

I think avoiding the hashtable ordering issue is enough for now,
you could simply remember the first vector you insert (thus
pick the first candiate from the original ops[] vector).
You could also do sth like
// move hashtable elements to a vector
for (hashtable)
v.push (element);
v.qsort (sort-after-mode);
and then you have chunks of candidates with the same mode. You
can further discriminate the candidates by their SSA name version
after the mode to get a stable sort.
