For altivec targets, 32 bits, the spec2k-gap bmk does not build.  The
reason is that at some point the vectorizer creates an CONST_VECTOR
rtl, where the elements are SYMBOL_REFs.

Gcc ICE on simplify_immed_subreg, where it checks that CONST_VECTORS
can be only made of CONST_INT, CONST_DOUBLE, or CONST_FIXED.

I really don't understand what that function does, but since the
vectorizer will bailout later anyway, I think it is safe to treat
SYMBOL_REFs as CONST_INT. (NOT for FSF submission, as I really don't
have a clue)

This problem does not exists on gcc-4.5

This problem does not exists on 64 bits, since there is no altivec
type that can support 64bit elements.

Here is a simplified test case:

typedef void f_t (void);
extern f_t f;
extern f_t *A[12];
extern f_t *B[12];
void bad_vector ()
{                                                                                                                                                    
  int i;

    A[i] = f;
