Well, say you are compiling for 405. You either need to have a gcc
that was configured with --with-cpu=405, or you need to have hacked
arch/ppc/Makefile to add -mcpu=405. In both cases the problem doesn't
arise. It only arises if you have a biarch gcc4 that was configured
without any --with-cpu=xxx option and is run without any -mcpu=xxx
option.
If you think we should have -mcpu=xxx on the command line for 4xx,
44x, 8xx, etc., then that's fine, but that is a separate problem from
what my patch was addressing (one which my patch might make it easier
to fix, though).
Paul.
