we can't put "altivec_abi" in rs6000_current_abi because altivecabi is
just an extension to the current abi, not a different abi. the entries
in rs6000_current_abi are mutually exclusive.
i guess altivec_abi doesn't need to be in target_flags, it could reside
in any other global variable, because it's just accessed with the macro
TARGET_ALTIVEC.
