Actually, in the course of my recent AltiVec struggles, I failed to
discover any purpose whatsoever for the '--enable-altivec' config
switch -- perhaps Aldy can enlighten us.
Doing a simple search using google, I found when this was added:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-12/msg02123.html
It is exactly does what I said it does is to change the ABI by default.
