The attached patch adds a test for the apparently long fixed

FWIW, I've been trying to close out some of these old bugs and
while it doesn't seem to be done consistently, it occurs to me
that it might be nice to add tests for them. Please let me
know if you don't think it's worth the trouble (not just mine
but also reviewing the tests and maintaining them).
I suspect it's more oversight than anything. And if an old bug isn't on
the regression lists, it doesn't tend to get much attention.
I'm all for adding the regression tests and getting this stuff closed out.
I'll let the PPC maintainers weigh in on the actual test, but my
inclination would be to include it if it works across the various PPC
targets.
