Looking > at the E6500 hardware doc seems to show that it has both hardware FP and > Altivec units. For some applications fast context switches are important and the FP/AltiVec context is quite huge. It affects also the interrupt latency. I have to discuss this with the application developers. We probably don't need it in a 64-bit configuration. > > > > How can I dump the instruction?

Ok, I will try to do this. I am not sure how it works with the cross compiler build: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebuggingGCC#gccbuilddebug
