Hi Segher,
  Thanks for your review comments.

The return type of vec_ version built-ins are different than their definition
in PVIPR. In PVIPR, they're vector unsigned int or vector unsigned long long.
Shall we correct them?

  const vd __builtin_vsx_extract_exp_dp (vd);
    VEEDP xvxexpdp {}

  const vf __builtin_vsx_extract_exp_sp (vf);
    VEESP xvxexpsp {}

  const vd __builtin_vsx_extract_sig_dp (vd);
    VESDP xvxsigdp {}

  const vf __builtin_vsx_extract_sig_sp (vf);
    VESSP xvxsigsp {}

The powerpc*-*-linux* is no need as bfp.exp excludes AIX and Darwin.
I will modify it.

We commonly do regression test with -m32 and -m64. So if -mpowerpc64 is
not added, the combination of "-m32/-mpowerpc64" is not tested.
