        * config/rs6000/rs6000.md: Swap define_insn attributes to
        fix incorrect generation of merge high instructions instead
        of merge low.

This one maybe? :)

The only other problems I know of are syntactic ones when the hacker
was used to the AltiVec extension to gcc 2.95 by Motorola. Also the
semantic changed a bit in the initialisation of vectors which is
what I think could be the culprit.

Depending on which compiler people use for MacOSX this problem might
not show up there, the one of 10.2 is gcc-3.2ish while older ones
have the Motorola extension.
