So this bug is as old as the rs6000 port has PowerPC support?

I have a private PPC port which I always build without an explicit --with-cpu= option. This option seemed to be redundant with PROCESSOR_DEFAULT and TARGET_DEFAULT in the target config file. I will alter my build procedure. Regards, Gunther
