varargs are broken because of GCC infrastructure problems for subregs 
of simd types on hard registers.  I suggested an approach, but Jan 
Hubicka had another idea which he hasn't implemented.  I may kludge it 
on the e500 branch, since there doesn't seem to be an agreement on how 
to fix GCC.

long doubles are broken on purpose on mainline.  The ABI specifies 128 
bit long doubles, but I have left them as 64 bits since there are no 
emulation bits for powerpc-eabi*.

vector types going on varargs, in the named section of the arguments, 
are supposed to be split.  They currently are not.

Everything above I'm "working on".

Finally, there are a mess of multilibs to be built by default.  I have 
a patch, but I'm still testing the multilibs before I commit to 
mainline.
