------- Comment #36 from meissner at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-02-25 04:59 ------- I've tested the current GCC 4.5 development branch and it builds fine now with BOOT_CFLAGS='-g -O3 -ftree-vectorize -mcpu=power5 -maltivec'. It also builds with BOOT_CFLAGS='-g -O3 -ftree-vectorize -mcpu=power7'. I also built the current 4.4 branch with altivec, and it bootstrapped fine without problem.
Given this was reported in 2006, I suspect the fixes discussed in the thread have long since been applied to the compiler. So, I'm closing the bug. -- meissner at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |meissner at gcc dot gnu dot | |org Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WORKSFORME http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28752
