Perhaps this is a case that gcc doesn't handle right. When you use the -m7400 option, gcc will pass -maltivec to the assembler. When you use --with-cpu=7400 at configure time, gcc should pass -maltivec to the assembler by default. This is apparently not happening, and is probably a gcc bug. ASM_SPEC would have to be modified to fix this. You may be able to do this manually by creating a spec file and editing it to add the missing -maltivec option to the assembler specs. You may want to report this problem into the gcc bugzilla database so it gets tracked and fixed. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.specifix.com
