Hi,
For the above case, I think the issue is that simplify_permutation
uses TREE_TYPE (arg0) for res_type,
while it should now use type for lhs.

      /* Shuffle of a constructor.  */
      bool ret = false;
      tree res_type = TREE_TYPE (arg0);
      tree opt = fold_ternary (VEC_PERM_EXPR, res_type, arg0, arg1, op2);

Using, res_type = TREE_TYPE (gimple_get_lhs (stmt)),
resolves the ICE, and emits all constant VEC_PERM_EXPR:

  v2_4 = VEC_PERM_EXPR <{ 1, 2, 3, 4 }, { 1, 2, 3, 4 }, { 0, 1, 2, 3, ... }>;
  return v2_4;

Does the patch look OK to commit after bootstrap+test ?
I will try to address the folding for above VEC_PERM_EXPR in follow-up patch.
