[PATCH] ppc64: fix gcc 4.0 vs CONFIG_ALTIVEC
gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel. However, we used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented building the RAID6 altivec code. This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version. If 4.0 or later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add -maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support. For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code. The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more skilled than me to improve it.
