Hi Thomas.

In your message you specify that you are bootstrapping on a PowerBook G3,
and that you are getting an "illegal instruction" error.  The G3 does not
have AltiVec so, this seems like a sensible error message ;-).

If you wish to bootstrap a native PPC compiler that will run on your G3,
but generate code for AltiVec, just bootstrap with powerpc-linux-gnu
and then use the following flags when compiling a program:

	-mabi=altivec -maltivec

Obviously, this program will not run on your G3.

Can you close this PR?
