- Subject: [Patch] Altivec ABI as default for powerpc64 linux
Hello,
I would propose to set ALTIVEC as the default ABI
for ppc64 linux.
This will not change anything for programs not having any
vector types. But it will allow programs to work correctly
which are using vector. This is also true for programs using
vector types, but do not use the altivec instruction set
(which is not set as default !).
And, btw, without that default, we don't comply to the latest
ppc64 Linux ABI...
OK to commit (also 3.4) ?
