I see the ppc gcc that patchew uses doesn't like this:

/var/tmp/patchew-tester-tmp-r7vd2rsz/src/accel/tcg/tcg-runtime-gvec.c:
In function ‘helper_gvec_shl8i’:
/var/tmp/patchew-tester-tmp-r7vd2rsz/src/accel/tcg/tcg-runtime-gvec.c:533:26:
internal compiler error: in emit_move_insn, at expr.c:3495
         *(vec8 *)(d + i) = *(vec8 *)(a + i) << shift;
                          ^
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

We need to either work around that or update the compiler in patchew's
setup or disable that build before we can merge this, or patchew will
start mailing complaints about every series that's sent to the list...
