But, I can't see why we can't just define a common mangling for

Perhaps I snould add a, say, '-maltivec-mangle' option, and then then
have -faltivec map to -maltivec + -maltivec-mangle ? Then,
'-maltivec' users will still get the generic mangling. What do you
think?
I'd support a generic way of mangling the type "vector of N elements
of type T".
If you want to do a specific, Altivec-only mangling that's primarily
up to the RS6000 maintainers, I suppose.
Ok, but I'd still need the target hook. :-) Is this OK?
