That's simply wrong. The docs don't list an "applies to" or "since". We asked for that about 5 years ago. Here is the link returned for a search of "GCC vec_xl_be". There is no mention of GCC 10.0 or limitations on availability: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/PowerPC-AltiVec-Built-in-Functions-Available-on-ISA-3_002e0.html Like I said, you don't understand how search works and how users use it.
