Yes,.. with the gimple-folding in place, that particular function (at .gimple
time) is no longer in play.
bD.2759 = __builtin_altivec_vmaddfpD.1680 (bD.2759, aD.2756, {
3.64337600724452438440169691655378194132868104887894100657e-44,

is now
bD.2759 = bD.2759 * aD.2756 + {
3.64337600724452438440169691655378194132868104887894100657e-44,

3.64337600724452438440169691655378194132868104887894100657e-44 };
.
If you use the option " -mno-fold-gimple " you should get the un-folded
behavior. Which would be good to confirm this is the root cause, but not
long-term recommended for optimization reasons.
So all that said.. I'm struggling to recreate this one.
My latest attempt was on gcc110. I've tried on a few other power systems, with
similar/same results.
Anything obvious that I may have mis-configured here?
