--- Comment #3 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-f...@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to Piotr Kubaj from comment #2) Use of -mvsx would prevent use of PowerMacs and such as far as I can tell: Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltiVec#VSX_(Vector_Scalar_Extension) about VSX: Power ISA v2.06 introduces the new VSX vector-scalar instructions[5] which extend SIMD processing for the Power ISA to support up to 64 registers, with support for regular floating point, decimal floating point and vector execution. POWER7 is the first Power ISA processor to implement Power ISA v2.06. End quote. Old PowerMacs and such predate POWER7 and predate v2.06 of the Power ISA. FreeBSD has not cut off such old machines from support (yet?). So I'm unsure what should be done relative to PowerPC vintages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-gecko@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-gecko-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
