While revisiting VIS, *please* consider fixing a big usability problem: the pack and aligndata builtins don't take GSR in account; it has unknown state and might be changed as a side-effect of a previous VIS insn (well, alignaddr). The affected builtins don't have dependencies to GSR or a means to set it besides in an asm; hardly usable at all. See PR48974. brgds, H-P
