Perhaps this is a case that gcc doesn't handle right. When you use the
-m7400 option, gcc will pass -maltivec to the assembler. When you use
--with-cpu=7400 at configure time, gcc should pass -maltivec to the
assembler by default. This is apparently not happening, and is probably
a gcc bug. ASM_SPEC would have to be modified to fix this. You may be
able to do this manually by creating a spec file and editing it to add
the missing -maltivec option to the assembler specs.
You may want to report this problem into the gcc bugzilla database so it
gets tracked and fixed.
