Test case

It looks like the PowerPC VSX splat instruction (xxspltw) sometimes writes to
the wrong register.  To reproduce, compile the two attached files into an
executable, with optimization enabled (clang++ -O2 Floats.cc testFloats.cc -o
testFloats).  The bug causes it to incorrectly return a non-zero status.  If
you compare the assembly to gcc (with -O3), they are identical except for the
xxspltw output operand.
