      [POWERPC] Add -mno-spe for ARCH=powerpc builds · 0197cd2e
      Kumar Gala authored
      Newer GCC's are capable of autovectorization for ISA extensions like
      AltiVec and SPE.  If we happen to build with one of those compilers we
      will get SPE instructions in random kernel code.  Today we only allow
      basic interger code in the kernel and FP, AltiVec, or SPE in special
      explicit locations that have handled the proper saving and restoring of
      the register state (since on uniprocessor we lazy context switch the
      register state for FP, AltiVec, and SPE).
      
      -mno-spe disables the compiler for automatically generating SPE
      instructions without our knowledge.
