--- Comment #5 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Confirmed.  We expand from

  return { 71777214294589695, 71777214294589695, 71777214294589695,
71777214294589695 };

where we could reduce the DImode broadcast to a HImode one (if that exists).
But sure, the x86 backend could implement the intrinsic suggested way to
generate this particular pattern.

I'll also note that -O0 produces quite bad code here.
