Re: 3.4 PATCH: Add -mcpu=7400 to Altivec tests

It turns out that I was looking at results from an old tree. In 3.4.x, if you configure --with-cpu=603 and then use -maltivec, the Altivec extensions are still disabled. That's been changed in 4.0. We wouldn't want to backport that change to 3.4, as it might result in silent code changes to user applications, but seeing the test failures isn't helpful. So, for 3.4 only, I checked in this change, which ensures that we're building the AltiVec tests for an appropriate CPU.

Thanks to David and Aldy for helping me with this issue.

Tested with a PowerPC GNU/Linux compiler configured --with-cpu=603,
committed on the 3.4 branch.


Are you sure that it was not fixed also on the 3.4 branch too because I remember the patch which I pointed out was applied there also.
