In the past, --with-cpu=power5 obviously did work, probably even for
powerpc64le-*. Why doesn't it anymore? What is the error / failure mode
if you try?
Apart from that, this is not an interesting configuration anymore at all, of
course. Some *older* systems still are interesting, perhaps even a 630 thing
("POWER3"), it being lowest common denominator, but that is it. Oh, and 970
of course, still one of the systems that many "real people" have. It always
was quite affordable, and second-hand systems still are ;-)
If such a (power5) config cannot work anymore, we should probably not allow
the user to (try to) select it? Just a "sorry" is plenty :-)
