Hello,
RTL optimizers looks like a promising category, and Eric like a nice
maintainer for it, adding in Cc: ;-)
(I bothered Richard Sandiford last time)

Hello,
this patch lets the compiler try to rewrite:
(vec_concat (vec_select x [a]) (vec_select x [b]))
as:
vec_select x [a b]
or even just "x" if appropriate.
In a first iteration I was restricting it to b-a==1, but it seemed better
not to: it helps for {v[1],v[0]} and doesn't change anything for unknown
patterns.
Note that I am planning to do a similar optimization at tree level, but it
shouldn't make this one useless because such patterns can be created during
rtl passes. The testcase may need an additional -fno-tree-xxx to still be
useful at that point though.
Since the tree-ssa patch was reviewed faster, assume there is a
-fno-tree-forwprop in dg-options for the testcase.
