 Hi Thomas.
 
 In your message you specify that you are bootstrapping on a PowerBook G3,
 and that you are getting an "illegal instruction" error.  The G3 does not
 have AltiVec so, this seems like a sensible error message ;-).
 
 If you wish to bootstrap a native PPC compiler that will run on your G3,
 but generate code for AltiVec, just bootstrap with powerpc-linux-gnu
 and then use the following flags when compiling a program:
 
 	-mabi=altivec -maltivec
 
 Obviously, this program will not run on your G3.
 
 Can you close this PR?
