Bug 1389801

GCC 4.8.5 fails the test case submitted in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78084.  A slightly reduced test case is below.  The unused hv variable, the unaligned test, and the vec_vsx_ld call in the call to f are all necessary in order to cause the micompilation.

Code generated by GCC 7 runs successfully to completion.

$ cat t.c && gcc -O1 -Wall -mvsx t.c && ./a.out

testcase (const unsigned char *dest)
{
  vec_u8_t hv = vec_ld (0, dest);
  (void)&hv;

  vec_u8_t compare = vec_vsx_ld (0, dest);

  if ((unsigned long)dest & 15)
    __builtin_printf ("unaligned address %p\n", dest);

  f (vec_vsx_ld (0, dest));
