* Started tracking down the causes of some failures in vect.exp: pr43430-1.c failed because of missing vector comparison support. This seemed relatively straightforward to implement using NEON instructions, so I had a go at doing that. Similarly another test fails (vect-35.c) because of missing support for widening/narrowing patterns, though I'm still investigating a fix for that.
A colleague has just noticed this status entry and asked me to mention that ARM is actually working on this already; we have some patches currently on the go, which we expect to post an initial version of upstream sometime this week. So it's probably better to wait for those rather than duplicating effort in this area.
