--- Comment #7 from Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Florian Weimer from comment #6) > The issue on POWER is different because the ABI was enhanced retroactively, > supposedly in a transparent way. The PowerPC AltiVec ABI is separate from the older 32-bit ABI. The 64-bit ABI was extended to handle AltiVec just fine. And "ELFv2" requires AltiVec. There are complexities :-)
