In the defconfig perhaps, but this isn't a generally true statement.
And if we select CONFIG_E{5,6}500_CPU this may introduce -mcpu=e500mc64
into $CFLAGS. But Altivec and Spe options not allowed with
e500mc64, so :
Sigh.

This does not seem like the right fix.  What if GCC supports both
-mcpu=e500mc64 and -mcpu=e6500, and we're using the latter?  Or for that
matter, if we're using -mcpu=whatever-ibm-chip-has-this?

Plus, wouldn't you need to do something to prevent code in that file
from being called?
