================
Comment at: clang/lib/Headers/ppc_wrappers/smmintrin.h:310
   __charmask = vec_gb(__charmask);
-  __v8hu __shortmask = (__v8hu)vec_unpackh(__charmask);
+  __v8hu __shortmask = (__v8hu)vec_unpackh((__v16qi)__charmask);
 #ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN__

In altivec header, `vec_unpackh` 's parameter is either `signed char` or `bool char`,  so we need explicit casting since `__charmask` is `unsigned char`.
