That wouldn't be a solution, because gcc needs to deal with older assemblers
that won't have such a change. I don't have a strong opinion on whether newer
versions of gas ought to enable all power7 instructions when given -mvsx, but I
can say that -mvsx followed the precedent of other similar options, eg.
-maltivec, -mlsp, where the option adds instructions for some function unit to
the current cpu supported.
