I don't really grok the code but an operand seems to be missing and the
assembler makes something out of it I don't trust:
_GLOBAL(__ashrdi3)
	...
	rlwinm  r8,r7,0,32      # t3 = (count < 32) ? 32 : 0
Trying it out:
$ cat a.c
void f(void)
{
        __asm("rlwinm  8,7,0,32");
}
$ ppc_4xx-gcc -O2 -c a.c
$ ppc-linux-objdump -S a.o
a.o:     file format elf32-powerpc
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <f>:
f():
   0:   54 e8 06 b4     rlwinm  r8,r7,0,26,26
   4:   4e 80 00 20     blr
