It is better if you *do* document the old names, but say "use the new
stuff", I think?  Or is there so little material with the old names
out there that no one will notice?

I think this reads simpler as
      /* The ASSEMBLE builtin source operands are reversed in little-endian
         mode, so reorder them.  */
      if (fcode == VSX_BUILTIN_ASSEMBLE_PAIR_INTERNAL && !WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN)
        std::swap (op[1], op[2]);
      pat = GEN_FCN (icode) (op[0], op[1], op[2]);
do you agree?

And
      /* The ASSEMBLE builtin source operands are reversed in little-endian
         mode, so reorder them.  */
      if (fcode == MMA_BUILTIN_AS> +SEMBLE_ACC_INTERNAL && !WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN)
        {
          std::swap (op[1], [op[4]);
          std::swap (op[2], [op[3]);
        }
      pat = GEN_FCN (icode) (op> +[0], op[1], op[2], op[3], op[4]);
for that then of course.

Pleae write the
   && mode == OOmode
on a new line as well then?

Space before colon.

Okay for trunk and 11 with at least that space fixed.  Thanks!
