Combine tries to optimise comparisons involving:

    (zero_extract (const_int X)
		  (const_int 1)
		  (var Y))

and so on BITS_BIG_ENDIAN targets it tries gamely to work out what mode
X actually has.  At the moment it tries reading the mode from operand 1
of extzv, but that doesn't feel right, since we never use extzv itself
with this combination of operands.  (We only use it with combinations
in which the first zero_extract operand is variable and the third is
constant.)  And extzv isn't necessarily a good indicator of what a
matched zero_extract does, since targets often have matchable zero_extract
insns for more than one mode.  E.g. powerpc (a BITS_BIG_ENDIAN target)
has both SImode and DImode patterns.

In practice, all BITS_BIG_ENDIAN targets that have an extzv pattern
either have an explicit word_mode operand (e.g. m68k) or leave it void,
which make_for_extraction treats as word_mode.  Since word_mode is also
the default assumption when no extzv pattern is defined, I think it would
be more robust to assume/require word_mode across the board (as much as
anything can be called robust in this sort of situation).

Tested as described in the covering note.  OK to install?

gcc/
	* combine.c (simplify_comparison): If BITS_BIG_ENDIAN, always assume
	that zero_extracts of const_ints are doing word-sized extractions.

This looks plausible.
